Can a plumber fit walk-in shower?

A walk-in shower can help make your bathroom more accessible. The installation can often be a large-scale process and involves a high level of plumbing skills. Because of this, it is recommended that a professional undertakes such a project to ensure that it is completed correctly.

In order to install a walk-in bath, your existing tub will need to be removed. Thanks to our expert team, there is little damage to your plumbing, which makes installing the newer model easier. In some instances, structural changes such as widening of door frames will need to be undertaken in order to bring your new bath into your home. However, this will be raised during your home visit, so you will have a full understanding of what is happening every step of the way.

Your new bath will need to be levelled, sealed and reattached to the plumbing before use, so your fitters will ensure that this is done. After a clean and check-over, the installation will be complete!

How much does a walk-in shower installation cost?

When it comes to looking at purchasing a walk-in bathing solution, the price is one of the first things that may spring to mind. When it comes to a bespoke wall in shower installation, the price will vary depending on the scale of the installation process.

In order to secure your purchase, you will be required to pay a deposit of 50% before the manufacturing can take place. As each bathroom is unique, this deposit is required so that our expert team can provide you with the perfect walk-in shower for your home. This deposit can be paid in two instalments, the first of which is payable at the point of order and is normally around £1000. The remainder of this is due after a technical survey has been carried out.

If in the 14 days following the payment of £1000, you change your mind, you’re welcome to a full refund due to our cooling off period. If you decide not to go ahead with the purchase in the days after this period, it is likely that you will have to pay any costs that have been incurred.
