Walk-In Shower Installation in Leek
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A proper walk-in shower in a Leek 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.
Every bathroom fitting job we run in Leek is planned around the pipework and the floor we actually find, not the one we hope for.
Walk-In Shower Installation FAQs — Leek
- 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 Leek install.
- Can I have a walk-in shower instead of a bath?
- Yes, this is one of our most popular Leek 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 Leek 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 Leek 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.
- 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.
