Walk-In Shower Installation

Looking to update your bathroom with a modern walk-in shower? We Build Showers specialises in walk-in shower projects, helping customers across Berkshire create practical and attractive bathroom spaces.

What the work involves

Walk-In Showers, done the way the photos show.

A walk-in shower is an open shower with a low profile tray or a level floor and a fixed glass screen instead of a door. It makes a bathroom feel bigger, it is easier to keep clean and it is easier to step into.

Most of our walk-in projects start with an old bath or a dated cubicle coming out. We plan where the valve, the rain head and the hand shower will sit, where the drain goes and how the tiles will line up, then build it so the finish looks like the photos.

Everything in the photos on this site was fitted by We Build Showers. Recessed niches with lighting, brass or chrome brassware, large format porcelain, zellige, hexagon floors. If you have seen a shower you like, send us the picture.

Questions

Things people ask about walk-in showers.

Can you replace my bath with a walk-in shower?

Yes. Taking out a bath and fitting a walk-in shower in its place is one of the most common jobs we do.

Do I need a tray, or can the floor be level?

Either. A low profile tray is the simpler option. A level floor needs the floor built up and tanked, which we can talk through on the site visit.

Who supplies the tiles and fittings?

Confirm this with Sat when you enquire. Tell us whether you already have items picked out or would like suggestions.
