Working in Portsmouth

We cover every part of Portsmouth, including PO1, PO2, PO3 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Gosport (1.7 miles) and South Hayling (5.1 miles).

Portsmouth is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a walk-in shower in Portsmouth, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If you are planning ahead in Portsmouth for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Water across much of Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Portsmouth 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

Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing

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.

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.

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 Portsmouth: questions

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

A walk-in shower in Portsmouth usually costs £2,800–£6,700 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.

Is the home survey in Portsmouth 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 PO1 in Portsmouth?

Yes. We cover all of Portsmouth, including PO1, PO2, PO3, PO4 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Gosport, South Hayling and Fareham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
