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 Stoke install.

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

Yes, this is one of our most popular Stoke 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 Stoke 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 Stoke 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.

Are you fully insured for work in Stoke?

Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Stoke comes with a written workmanship guarantee.

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

A proper walk-in shower in a Stoke 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.

What makes bathroom fitting in Stoke different from a generic install is how we plan around the building it's going into.

Stoke at a glance

Stoke sits in Staffordshire, served by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, with postcodes ST4. Stoke town centre is dense with two-up-two-down Victorian terraces around the railway station, mixed with later infill flats near Campbell Road. Quick to reach off A500 and A34 — useful when we're surveying several jobs in a morning.

Common walk-in shower installation issues in Stoke homes

Homeowners replacing a tired bath or cubicle in Stoke hit a recurring set of issues with walk-in shower installation:

Existing waste positions that won't accept a low-profile tray without packing — flagged regularly on Stoke jobs.

Old plasterboard substrates that need replacing before any tanking goes on — flagged regularly on Stoke jobs.

Door thresholds that need re-set to keep the room watertight — flagged regularly on Stoke jobs.

Original lath-and-plaster walls that flex under modern tile weight, particularly in Stoke properties of this age.

Around Stoke this shows up as concrete sub-floors hiding rotten timber boards near the wc.
