How much does it cost to replace a bath with a walk-in shower?
It depends on the shower, the enclosure and whether plumbing or the floor needs work, but a bath-to-shower conversion is one of the most popular and cost-effective bathroom upgrades. Bright Bathrooms designs it in our showroom and gives you a fixed, itemised written quote after a free survey — no day-rate surprises.
What’s the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?
A walk-in shower has a low-profile shower tray and usually a screen, set within an otherwise normal bathroom. A wet room has no tray — the whole floor is graded and tanked so the shower area is open. Wet rooms need more extensive waterproofing and floor work; a walk-in shower is simpler and often the better fit.
Will my water pressure run a walk-in shower?
Not every system will. Older gravity-fed homes often need a booster pump or a mains-pressure upgrade to drive a modern shower properly. We check your water system and pressure at survey and design the shower around it, so it performs the day it’s fitted.
What a walk-in shower installation involves
We remove the old bath or shower, prepare and (where needed) reinforce the floor, install and fully tank the shower area, then tile, fit the screen and shower, and seal and test before handover. The waterproofing behind the tiles is the part that matters most — get it wrong and it leaks; get it right and it lasts.
Waterproofing is everything
A walk-in shower puts a lot of water in one place. We tank the shower zone with a continuous membrane and reinforced junctions, and bed tiles on a full adhesive bed — the standards explained in our waterproofing guide — so water never reaches the structure behind.
A great option for easier access
Low-threshold and level-access walk-in showers make daily use much easier, especially for older homeowners — without looking clinical. Paired with slip-resistant flooring and a comfortable layout, they suit family bathrooms and ageing-in-place alike.

The detail that decides whether it leaks
Most "leaking shower" call-outs trace back to skipped waterproofing — tanking tape missed at the wall-to-floor junction, or tiles dabbed rather than fully bedded. On every walk-in shower we arrange, the tanking and full-contact tiling are non-negotiable. It never shows on handover day; it shows two winters later, and we’d rather it never showed at all.
