Working in St Ives

As well as St Ives itself (PE27), we survey in Huntingdon, St Neots and Cambridge.

St Ives gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your St Ives bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If your St Ives shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. If your supply in St Ives 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

An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

Decisions to make first

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

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.

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.

What is the price of a walk-in shower in St Ives?

A walk-in shower in St Ives usually costs £2,600–£6,400 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.

Is the home survey in St Ives 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 PE27 in St Ives?

Yes. We cover all of St Ives, including PE27, and nearby Huntingdon, St Neots and Cambridge. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in St Ives?

Can a walk-in shower replace a bath?

Yes. A standard bath is about 1700 by 700 mm, so a 1700 mm tray fits the same space and can often use the existing waste position. It is one of the simplest ways to get a walk-in shower; our bath to shower conversions page covers that job in detail.
