The space argument
A walk-in shower with a low-profile tray and a single screen takes less floor than a bath and makes a small bathroom feel much bigger. In the narrow terraced and 1960s estate bathrooms common in Basingstoke it is often the change that makes the room work.
The resale argument
Most buyers with young children want at least one bath in the house. If you have an en-suite or a second bathroom, converting the family bathroom to a shower room is an easy decision. If it is the only bathroom, think about who might buy the house next.
The shower-bath compromise
A P-shaped or L-shaped shower bath with a good screen and a thermostatic shower gives you both in the footprint of a bath. It is the right answer for a lot of family bathrooms, and we fit many of them.
Accessibility
If stairs and a high bath side are getting harder, a level-access shower with a folding seat and a grab rail or two makes a bathroom usable for decades longer, and it can look like any other smart shower room.
Water pressure and heating
A big rain head needs decent flow. On a combi boiler or a gravity system we check what you have and recommend a valve and head that will perform; where a pump or a new cylinder is needed, the registered engineers we work with handle it.
What we would do
Tell us how the household uses the bathroom and we will give you a straight opinion on the visit. There is no extra cost to a conversion over a like-for-like refit in most rooms, so the decision should be about how you live, not the price.
