Working in Croydon

In Croydon we cover CR0, CR2, CR5 and 5 more postcode districts; we also cover Mitcham, 3.2 miles away, and Purley.

In Croydon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We measure walk-in showers in Croydon so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. In a long, narrow Croydon en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Croydon 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

Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Walk-in showers in Croydon: questions

What is the price of a walk-in shower in Croydon?

A walk-in shower in Croydon usually costs £3,100–£7,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does a walk-in shower take?

Allow 2–5 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 Croydon.

Is the home survey in Croydon 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 CR0 in Croydon?

Yes. We cover all of Croydon, including CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby Mitcham, Purley and Streatham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
