What does a walk-in shower cost in Grays?
As a guide, budget £2,600 to £6,400 including VAT for a walk-in shower in Grays; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in East of England run at about 6% 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.
Tray and screen
- Low-profile tray and 8 mm glass panel
Frameless upgrade
- Concealed thermostatic valve
Tiled level floor
- Floor and wall tiling

Working in Grays
We cover every part of Grays, including RM16, RM17 and RM20, and nearby Swanscombe (2.1 miles) and South Ockendon (2.9 miles).
Across a large town like Grays, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. In a long, narrow Grays en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Grays shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Grays 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- 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
Glass thickness
8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.
Niche
A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.
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.
