Working in Guildford

We cover every part of Guildford, including GU1, GU2 and GU4, and nearby Godalming (3.8 miles) and Woking (5.8 miles).

Homes in and around Guildford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan shower rooms in Guildford around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If nobody in your Guildford home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. If your supply in Guildford is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Guildford: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Guildford?

A shower room in Guildford usually costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Guildford.

Is the home survey in Guildford really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover GU1 in Guildford?

Yes. We cover all of Guildford, including GU1, GU2 and GU4, and nearby Godalming, Woking and Aldershot. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
