Shower Over Bath Installation in Leek
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A shower over the bath in a Leek home is the right answer when you want both, but only if the tiling, screen and thermostatic mixer are all specified for shower duty — not just retro-fitted to a bath setup.
We tank the wall behind the shower zone, fit a proper glass bath screen (not a curtain) hinged into the tile field, and plumb a thermostatic mixer with a diverter rather than a bath-tap-and-riser afterthought.
Plenty of the bathroom fitting we quote across Leek starts the same way: a house that's outgrown its original bathroom layout.

Shower Over Bath Installation FAQs — Leek
- Do I need to re-tile the Leek bathroom to add a shower over the bath?
- The shower wall(s), yes — they need tanking and full-height tiling. The rest of the room only if it's cosmetically time.
- Glass screen or shower curtain?
- Glass — a hinged 6-8mm screen fixed into the tile field. Curtains dribble water onto the floor on every use and rarely last 12 months in a Leek bathroom.
- Thermostatic mixer or standard?
- Thermostatic — anti-scald, stable temperature when someone else runs a tap elsewhere. Standard on every Leek shower-over-bath install.
- How long does it take?
- 4-6 working days on a standard Leek install if we're re-tiling one wall and fitting the screen and mixer.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Leek we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Leek home liveable while the work runs.
