Do I need to re-tile the Sneyd Green 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 Sneyd Green bathroom.

Thermostatic mixer or standard?

Thermostatic — anti-scald, stable temperature when someone else runs a tap elsewhere. Standard on every Sneyd Green shower-over-bath install.

How long does it take?

4-6 working days on a standard Sneyd Green install if we're re-tiling one wall and fitting the screen and mixer.

Do you tidy up at the end of each day?

Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Sneyd Green home liveable while the work runs.

How long does a full bathroom in Sneyd Green typically take?

A standard family bathroom in Sneyd Green is usually 7 – 12 working days from strip-out to handover, depending on tiling area and structural changes.

A shower over the bath in a Sneyd Green 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.

Ask ten Sneyd Green households what they want from bathroom fitting and you get ten different briefs, so we start by listening.
