Do you tank the walls and floor for a walk-in shower?

Always. We use a liquid tanking membrane behind tiles in the shower zone and onto the floor lip before any tile goes down — non-negotiable on every Fenton install.

Can I have a walk-in shower instead of a bath?

Yes, this is one of our most popular Fenton jobs. We remove the bath, re-board, tank, and fit a low-profile tray or wet-floor former in the same footprint.

How long does a walk-in shower install take?

Typical Fenton install is 5–8 working days from strip-out to handover, including tiling and silicone cure time.

What about frameless glass screens?

We fit 8mm and 10mm frameless screens with brushed brass, chrome or matt black brackets — your choice at the design stage.

Can you fit a bathroom in a Victorian terrace without losing too much space?

Yes — much of our work in Fenton is in narrow Victorian terraces. We typically reset the door swing, move the basin onto a wall-hung run and recess the WC cistern to free up usable floor.

How quickly can you start a job in Fenton?

Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.

A proper walk-in shower in a Fenton home isn't just a screen on a tray — it's a tanked floor, a properly bonded substrate, and a tray (or wet-floor former) that's been picked to suit the joists and the door threshold.

We install everything from a single fixed glass panel in a 900mm enclosure up to full 1700mm walk-throughs with a low-profile tray and frameless screens.

Most of our bathroom fitting jobs in Fenton begin with a slow walk round the house, not a quote on the doorstep.

About Fenton

Fenton sits in Staffordshire, served by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, with postcodes ST4. Fenton — the forgotten town — is a mix of tight terraces around the A50, ex-council semis at Mount Pleasant and pockets of new-build infill on cleared pottery land. Main routes through are A50 and A5007, which is why our vans pass close to Fenton most days.
