Walk-in shower installation in Kingston upon Thames
Bath-to-shower conversions and low-level walk-in showers — done in days, certified properly.
In Kingston's 1930s stock the bath-to-shower conversion runs exactly as it does across outer south London — full-size tray in the bath footprint, four to six days. The cottages need the extra survey step: a level tray on a floor that slopes 30mm across the room means packing the tray dead level and disguising the taper in the skirting line, which is detail work we photograph and show clients up front. Riverside flats usually already have showers; there we upgrade builder-grade enclosures to frameless glass and stone-resin trays.
The houses we see in Kingston upon Thames
Canbury and Fairfield are flat-fronted Victorian cottages — charming, small, and structurally quirky: out-of-square rooms, shallow joists, bathrooms added into what were bedrooms or extended into the yard. Norbiton and the Berrylands direction are 1930s semis with conventional upstairs bathrooms. The riverside is modern apartment stock from the 1980s to brand new, all leasehold, with communal risers and management processes. Coombe, to the east, is large detached houses with multi-bathroom renovations.
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
