Walk-in shower installation in south London
Bath-to-shower conversions and low-level walk-in showers — done in days, certified properly.
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

Walk-in showers — what people ask
How much does it cost to replace a bath with a walk-in shower?
£2,800 to £5,500 excluding VAT depending on tray size, glass and how much re-tiling the removal exposes. The bath footprint is bigger than most trays, so there is always making-good; converting to a full-width 1700mm shower that uses the whole bath footprint sits at the top of the range and looks the most deliberate. Four to seven days on site.
Read the full answerDoes removing the bath hurt resale value?
In a one-bathroom family house, it can — many buyers with young children filter for a bath, so if it is your only bathroom, think carefully. In flats, in second bathrooms, and in areas with older owner-occupiers, a quality walk-in shower typically helps rather than hurts. The honest rule: last bath in the house stays unless the household's needs say otherwise; any other bath is fair game.
Read the full answerWhat is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?
A walk-in shower uses a tray — low-profile or level-access — with the waterproofing largely handled by the tray itself and the tiled walls around it. A wetroom has no tray at all: the floor itself is structurally formed to fall to a drain and the whole room is tanked. Walk-in showers cost £2,800–£5,500 and take days; wetrooms cost £7,000–£12,000 and take weeks. If you want the look without the structural work, a level-access former gets close.
Read the full answerCan a walk-in shower be fitted in a day?
Not properly. Companies advertising one-day bath-outs exist, but sealant needs cure time, adhesive needs set time before grouting, and silicone needs a dry, dust-free room to bond. Our four-to-seven-day window includes those drying stages — compressing them is where leaks and early failures come from. It is still the quickest renovation we offer.
