Types of Shower Installation
Enclosed Cubicle
A shower tray with a glass enclosure. The most common installation across Cardiff’s period terraces and interwar semis. Trays come in acrylic, stone resin, and ceramic.
Walk-In Shower
No tray or door. A fixed glass panel or open entry. Requires a minimum floor area of around 900mm. Popular in larger bathrooms across Cyncoed and Roath.
Wetroom
A fully tanked, open shower space with screeded floor sloping to a drain. Suits smaller Victorian bathrooms in Pontcanna and Canton. The trade-off is the preparation cost.
Over-Bath Conversion
Fitting a thermostatic shower valve and bath screen to an existing bath. Common in interwar semis across Heath and Whitchurch. The most affordable option.
Cardiff Properties: What Works Where
Victorian Terraces in Pontcanna and Canton
Typically 4–7m² with lath-and-plaster walls. A wetroom or over-bath conversion often works best in the smallest rooms. Cardiff Joiners handles all structural preparation.
Bay-Fronted Semis in Roath and Penylan
Typically 6–9m², enough for a separate shower cubicle alongside a retained bath. A 900x900mm stone resin tray with frameless enclosure is the most popular upgrade.
Cyncoed and Llandaff Detacheds
Larger bathrooms with more flexibility. Full walk-in enclosures with frameless glass are the standard specification. En suite creation is a common brief.
Edwardian Properties in Penylan
More generous proportions. A full walk-in shower alongside a retained bath is achievable. Period-appropriate finishes and overhead rainfall heads suit these rooms.
New Builds in Cardiff Bay
Builder-grade enclosures commonly upgraded within a few years. Upgrading to a 900x900mm stone resin tray and frameless panel is the most effective improvement.
