Questions we get asked
Is an upstairs bath-to-shower swap more involved than downstairs?
Yes, the floor structure and waterproofing detail need more care upstairs to avoid any risk of leaks affecting the ceiling below.
Can the existing bath waste be reused for a walk-in shower?
Often yes, provided the new tray outlet lines up closely enough with the existing waste position and fall.
