Walk-in shower installation in Croydon
Bath-to-shower conversions and low-level walk-in showers — done in days, certified properly.
The Shirley and Sanderstead semis are ideal bath-to-shower territory: upstairs bathrooms with room for a full-size 1700mm walk-in tray in the old bath footprint, and owners staying put for the long term. In the terraces the conversion usually pairs with re-routing the shower waste to the external stack, which is straightforward on the back addition. In central Croydon flats, check one thing before falling for a level-access look: many leases prohibit cutting into the slab, so a low-profile 40mm tray is the honest answer there.
The houses we see in Croydon
The Victorian terraces of Broad Green, Thornton Heath and South Norwood carry the classic back-addition bathroom: small, cold, external soil stack, timber floors. Addiscombe and Shirley are Edwardian and 1930s family houses with a proper upstairs bathroom and usually a separate WC worth knocking through. Central Croydon is flats — 1960s blocks with concrete floors and old iron stacks, and the new towers around Boxpark and East Croydon with plastic internal risers, management companies and lease clauses that decide what a bathroom refit is allowed to touch.
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

- The over-bath shower leaks at the screen however you seal it

- A dated shower cubicle with a high step and mouldy frame
- Preparing a home for older relatives moving in
