Prices in South East England run at about 12% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Chesham
We work right across Chesham — HP5 — and in neighbouring Amersham on the Hill and Amersham.
Chesham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Chesham shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. If you are planning ahead in Chesham for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Chesham 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
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Decisions to make first
Tray length
Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.
Valve
An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.
Rules that apply in England
In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.
