What the job includes

A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.
