Zeus Renovations has been renovating bathrooms and fitting showers across Cardiff for over a decade, personally led by our founder, Louis. Whether your electric shower’s stopped heating properly, your mixer’s started dripping, or you just want a proper walk-in shower instead of climbing over a bath edge, we handle shower installation in Cardiff from start to finish.
We work with homeowners across Cardiff and the surrounding areas, from a like-for-like electric shower swap in Whitchurch to a full wet room conversion in an older Victorian terrace in Roath. Every job starts with a free property survey, because the right shower depends on your water pressure, hot water system and pipework, not just what looks good in a showroom. You’ll get a written quote within 2 to 3 working days, so there’s time to think it over with no pressure to sign anything on the spot.
We’re rated 5 stars on Google by local customers, and the reviews tend to mention the same things: we turn up when we say we will, we keep the house clean while we work, and we don’t leave until the job’s actually finished. If your shower needs sorting, call us on 07479551399 or book a free survey below and we’ll tell you honestly what it needs.
We cover every part of a shower installation in Cardiff, not just fitting the unit on the wall. Here’s a brief breakdown of the types of services we offer:
From a simple like-for-like swap to installing a new circuit for a first electric shower, this work is carried out by our subcontracted NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician.
If your hot water comes from a decent combi or a cylinder, we can fit mixer, thermostatic or digital showers with better flow and steadier temperature control.
Swap a bath you don’t use for a proper walk-in shower, without turning it into a full bathroom refurbishment.
A fully tanked, level-access wet room for bathrooms that need to work harder: safer, easier to clean, and easier to get in and out of.
Installation of a new tray, former, enclosure or screen. Sealed properly so doors run smoothly and water stays exactly where it should.
Walls and floor waterproofed to the manufacturer’s instructions before any tile goes up, then tiled and checked for leaks before we leave the room.
Most Cardiff homes fall into one of a handful of set-ups, and the shower that suits depends on which one you’ve got. Here’s a brief breakdown of the most common shower types we install across Cardiff homes:
Heats water on demand straight from the mains, so they work with any boiler or hot water tank. A common choice for terraces and flats with lower pressure.
Blend hot and cold water from your existing system to get a stronger flow if you’ve got a decent combi boiler or a pumped cylinder.
Lets you set and save a temperature, with the control unit away from the shower itself. Popular in family bathrooms and en suites.
Add a pump to boost pressure and flow, useful in older Cardiff properties with weaker gravity-fed systems.
Removes the trip hazard of stepping over a bath edge without making the room look clinical. A common choice for anyone with accessibility issues.
We’ve fitted units from Mira, Triton, Aqualisa, Bristan, Grohe and MX over the years, and we’ll recommend what suits your water system rather than pushing whichever brand’s easiest for us.
Personally overseen by Louis, 15 years in the trade, on every job from the first survey to final sign-off, not handed off to a rotating team.
A free survey and a written quote, not a guess based on photos or a figure pulled from a website. You’ll know what you’re paying before any work starts.
Registered trades for regulated work. Our subcontracted NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician handles any circuit work, and a WaterSafe registered plumber covers the water side.
Your home protected throughout the job: floors and access routes covered, with a proper clean-up at the end of each day, not just when the job’s finished.

We coordinate and manage all the trades so you don’t have to deal with the headache yourself
We don’t publish fixed prices on this page, because the right figure depends on what’s actually involved once we’ve seen the property, but it helps to have a rough idea before you call.
As a broad UK-wide guide: a like-for-like electric shower swap typically runs from around £250 to £600. A brand new electric shower install, where a new circuit’s needed, tends to sit higher, often £500 to £900. A bath-to-shower conversion, removing the bath and fitting a shower tray, screen and re-tiling, usually falls between £1,500 and £4,000, and a full wet room conversion with tanking, drainage and fitting is more commonly £3,000 to £8,000 depending on size and finish.
These are general ranges, not Zeus prices; your pipework, wall condition and choice of finish will move the number up or down. Book a free survey and we’ll give you a proper written quote based on your bathroom, not an estimate from a calculator.
We check your water pressure, hot water system, electrical capacity, drainage, and the condition of the walls and floor before recommending anything. This is where we catch what would otherwise turn into surprises halfway through the job.
You'll have a written quote within 2 to 3 working days, setting out what the job involves. No online pricing, no guesswork, just what your bathroom needs.
Once you're happy to go ahead, we agree a start date, protect your floors and the route through your home, and confirm what's being removed and fitted.
Regulated work is handled by our subcontracted NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician and a WaterSafe registered plumber, with a Gas Safe registered engineer brought in on jobs that involve gas.
We don’t offer a blanket workmanship guarantee with a fixed number of years attached, because every job and every property is different. What we do promise is this: Louis checks the work at every stage, not just at the end, and nothing gets signed off until he’s satisfied it’s been done properly.
You’ll get regular updates while the job’s running, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening or when the bathroom will be usable again. If anything needs adjusting once you’ve had a chance to use the shower- a bit of sealant, a valve that needs tweaking- we come back and sort it as part of the job, not as a separate charge.
Any products we fit come with the manufacturer’s own warranty, and we pass the paperwork straight to you rather than rewriting it as a promise of our own. Combined with a 5-star Google rating built on jobs like this one, it’s a simple way of saying: we don’t leave until it’s right, and we don’t disappear once we’ve been paid.
If your Cardiff home no longer works the way you need it to, Zeus Renovations Cardiff can help you plan the next step. Book a Free Renovation Consultation and tell us about your property, your ideas and the work you are considering. We will give clear advice, arrange a property visit where suitable and provide an itemised written quote before any work begins.
Usually both. The plumbing side, the cold feed and waste, is the more straightforward part, but wiring a new electric shower onto its own circuit is normally notifiable electrical work and has to be carried out by a registered electrician. We bring in a subcontracted NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician for that side, so both parts are handled by people qualified to do them, not one person covering everything.
Water gets behind the tiles instead of running away down the drain, which is how you end up with damp patches, mould, or a soft floor months later, long after the room looks finished. That’s why we waterproof the walls and floor with a proper membrane before any tile goes up, and we don’t move on to tiling until that stage has cured and been checked.
It comes down to your incoming mains pressure rather than the shower unit itself, since an electric shower heats water as it passes through and is only ever as strong as what’s coming into the property. If your mains pressure is on the low side, we’ll tell you that at survey stage, not after it’s fitted, and talk through whether a pump or a different shower type would suit you better.
Yes. Louis manages the whole job from survey to handover, bringing in a subcontracted NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician and a WaterSafe registered plumber for the regulated work, alongside the tiling and finishing. You deal with one point of contact throughout, rather than coordinating separate trades yourself.
We fit a waterproof membrane or tanking system across the floor and walls of the shower area, paying particular attention to corners, joints and any pipe penetrations, then let it cure fully before tiling starts. The tray or former is bedded and sealed at the same stage, and we check for leaks before the room’s closed up with tiles.
Yes. If you’d rather buy your own shower, tiles or fittings, we’re happy to fit them; we’ll just check compatibility with your water system and property at survey stage so there are no surprises. If you’d rather we source everything, we can do that too, with samples to look through before you decide.
A straightforward shower replacement can often be done in a day or two, while a fuller bathroom renovation typically takes 1 to 2 weeks depending on size and how much needs stripping out. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe at the property survey once we know exactly what’s involved, rather than a generic number that doesn’t reflect your job.
In most cases, yes, though how much access you’ll have to the bathroom during the work depends on your property and the scope of the job. We’ll talk through what to expect at survey stage, including which days the bathroom will be out of use, so you can plan around it rather than finding out as we go.
It depends more on your household and property than on a fixed rule. A family home where buyers expect a bath somewhere on site is a different situation to a smaller property or one with an en suite already covering that need. It’s worth thinking about how your household actually uses the bathroom day to day, and we’re happy to talk it through at survey rather than push you toward the bigger job.
Panels are quicker to fit, have fewer grout lines to keep clean, and can work out cheaper depending on the range you choose. Tiles offer more choice on pattern, size and finish, and tend to suit period or higher-spec bathrooms better. Neither is right or wrong; it comes down to how much upkeep you want and the look you’re after, and we can talk through both at survey.
It can help if your current combi is struggling to keep up with demand, but it’s not the only factor; pipe size, shower type and your existing pressure all play a part too. Rather than assuming a boiler upgrade is the fix, we check your whole system during the survey and tell you honestly whether that’s actually needed.
It depends on your plumbing and hot water system, not just your address. Some Cardiff properties have plenty of pressure for a mixer shower; others need a pump to get a decent flow. We check flow rate and pressure as part of the free survey, so you know before any work starts rather than finding out once it’s fitted.
Electric showers heat water on demand and don’t rely on your boiler or hot water tank, which suits properties with lower pressure or an unreliable hot water supply. Mixer showers blend hot and cold from your existing system and tend to give a stronger, more even flow if your combi or cylinder can support it. We’ll recommend whichever suits your actual water system rather than defaulting to one or the other.
No. We don’t take a deposit, and payment isn’t due until the job’s complete and you’re happy with it. You’ll have a written quote before anything starts, so you know what to expect, but nothing is paid upfront.
We take photos at each stage before it’s covered up, including the waterproofing, so there’s a record of what was done and how, not just a finished room to take on trust. If you’d like to see this during the job, just ask, Louis is on site managing it directly rather than handing it off.
We don’t offer a blanket guarantee with a fixed number of years attached, because every job’s different, but Louis checks the work at every stage and nothing gets signed off until he’s satisfied it’s right. If anything needs adjusting once you’ve had a chance to use the shower, we come back and sort it as part of the job. Any products fitted also carry the manufacturer’s own warranty, which we pass straight to you.
Louis does a final check and walk-through with you before anything is signed off, covering testing, finish and any snagging points, so you can see the work’s been done properly before payment is taken. Since payment isn’t due until completion, you’re never paying for a job you haven’t seen finished.
We’re based in Cardiff and cover the city and the surrounding areas, with a lot of our shower and bathroom work concentrated in Whitchurch, Thornhill, Llanishen, Cyncoed and Roath.
For a standard shower installation, we’ll travel up to 15 miles from Cardiff, and up to 25 miles for bigger jobs like a full wet room conversion, with no extra travel charge within those distances.
If your postcode isn’t listed above, get in touch anyway. We’d rather have a quick conversation about where you are than have you assume we don’t cover it.
