Walk-In Shower Installation in Sneyd Green

Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.

A proper walk-in shower in a Sneyd Green 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.

We've fitted bathroom fitting in Sneyd Green long enough to know the houses inside out.

Walk-In Shower Installation FAQs — Sneyd Green

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 Sneyd Green install.
Can I have a walk-in shower instead of a bath?
Yes, this is one of our most popular Sneyd Green 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 Sneyd Green 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.
We have a 1930s semi with a small upstairs bathroom — can you reconfigure it?
Most Sneyd Green 1930s semis have a separate WC we can knock through into the bathroom, giving a much better layout for a walk-in shower without losing a bedroom.
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.
