In Thetford, a walk-in shower typically costs £2,600–£6,400 including VAT, based on East of England prices. 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.

Working in Thetford

We work right across Thetford — IP24 — and in neighbouring Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket.

Thetford gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In a long, narrow Thetford en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Thetford 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 Norfolk has very hard water. If your supply in Thetford 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
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

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Thetford?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
