In Shipley, a walk-in shower typically costs £2,300–£5,600 including VAT, based on Yorkshire and the Humber prices. Prices in Yorkshire and the Humber run at about 7% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates.

Working in Shipley

We work right across Shipley — BD10, BD17 and BD18 — and in neighbouring Baildon and Bradford.

In Shipley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Shipley bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If you are planning ahead in Shipley for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Shipley, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Shipley?

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.
