Shower Over Bath Installation in Stone
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A shower over the bath in a Stone 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.
When Stone homeowners ask us about bathroom fitting, the first thing we look at is the room itself.

Shower-over-bath mistakes in {town}
Households keeping a bath but adding a proper shower over it in Stone hit a recurring set of issues with shower over bath installation:
Shower fitted with only a curtain — water on the floor after every use — flagged regularly on Stone jobs.
Wall behind the bath not tanked — moisture into the substrate within a season — flagged regularly on Stone jobs.
Bath tap and riser instead of a thermostatic mixer — scald risk when tap opens elsewhere — flagged regularly on Stone jobs.
Stone: layouts that waste a tiny footprint — door swings, basin position, awkward stud walls.

Shower Over Bath Installation FAQs — Stone
- Do I need to re-tile the Stone 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 Stone bathroom.
- Thermostatic mixer or standard?
- Thermostatic — anti-scald, stable temperature when someone else runs a tap elsewhere. Standard on every Stone shower-over-bath install.
- How long does it take?
- 4-6 working days on a standard Stone 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 Stone home liveable while the work runs.
- How long does a full bathroom in Stone typically take?
- A standard family bathroom in Stone is usually 7 – 12 working days from strip-out to handover, depending on tiling area and structural changes.
