Walk-in shower installation in Lewisham
Bath-to-shower conversions and low-level walk-in showers — done in days, certified properly.
Hither Green and Catford terraces are steady bath-to-shower territory, and for the rental sector the walk-in shower is increasingly the landlord's choice: faster tenant turnover cleaning, no bath-edge sealant line to fail, and thermostatic valves that survive scale. Owner conversions on the Corbett Estate run the standard four-to-six days with the stack conveniently behind the bathroom wall. In conversion flats the tray height matters — floors are often already built up over old boards, and we regularise levels rather than stacking another step.
The houses we see in Lewisham
Brockley and Ladywell are handsome mid-Victorian terraces and semis, many converted to flats in the 1980s. The Corbett Estate is the standout: 3,000 near-identical Edwardian houses built 1896–1911, so consistent that we know the bathroom, stack position and joist direction before we knock. Hither Green and Catford are later Victorian terraces, heavily rented. The centre's new towers add leasehold apartment stock.
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
What's included
