Walk-in shower installation in Bromley
Bath-to-shower conversions and low-level walk-in showers — done in days, certified properly.
This is one of our commonest Bromley jobs, for a simple reason: long-term owners in their sixties and seventies who want to stop climbing into a bath. The 1930s bathroom takes a full-width walk-in tray in the bath footprint with room to spare, and we pair it with a thermostatic valve run off the upgraded cylinder so the shower is actually powerful. Done as one visit — bath out, tray in, wall re-tiled — it is a four-to-six-day job that changes daily life more than any other £4,000 spent on these houses.
The houses we see in Bromley
The core is 1930s semi-detached — bay fronts, mock-Tudor gables, a family bathroom over the hall and a separate WC beside it. Petts Wood and West Wickham add chalet bungalows with bathrooms downstairs and loft rooms above. Bickley and Shortlands have larger Victorian and Edwardian villas, often with two or three bathrooms already. Beckenham mixes Victorian terraces with mansion flats. What almost all of it shares: original gravity hot-water systems in various states of replacement, and lofts that have either been converted or are about to be.
What walk-in showers involves
A bath-to-walk-in-shower conversion in south London costs £2,800–£5,500 excluding VAT and takes four to seven days. It is the fastest meaningful bathroom upgrade there is: the bath comes out, a low-profile tray and glass go in, the exposed wall is re-tiled and the plumbing adapted — without touching the rest of the room.
This is for you if
- Nobody in the house has used the bath in years
- Stepping over the bath edge is getting harder for someone
- The over-bath shower leaks at the screen however you seal it
- You want a second shower instead of a rarely-used second bath
- A dated shower cubicle with a high step and mouldy frame
- Preparing a home for older relatives moving in
