What does a walk-in shower cost in Wimbledon?
Guide price in Wimbledon: £3,100–£7,500 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. Prices in London run at about 25% 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 Wimbledon
As well as Wimbledon itself (SW17, SW19 and SW20), we survey in Morden, Mitcham and Putney.
London homes in Wimbledon often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are planning ahead in Wimbledon for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. If your Wimbledon bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Wimbledon 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- 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.
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.
