Spacious walk-in shower installations with frameless glass screens — a modern, accessible upgrade from traditional shower enclosures. Serving Wickwar and surrounding areas.
Why Wickwar Homeowners Are Switching to Walk-In Showers
Feels Cramped
Even in decent-sized Wickwar bathrooms, a standard 800x800mm enclosure feels claustrophobic. A walk-in shower opens up the room and feels twice the size.
Hard to Clean
Traditional enclosures have tracks, frames, and rubber seals that trap limescale and mould. In Wickwar's hard water areas, this means constant scrubbing. Walk-in designs have one glass panel — easy.

Why Wickwar Homeowners Choose Professional Walk-In Shower
In South Gloucestershire homes, we install walk-in showers with frameless glass panels, linear drains, and anti-slip tiled floors. The result is a clean, contemporary shower space that's easier to maintain than a traditional enclosure. In Wickwar, we've converted baths into walk-in showers, fitted them into new en-suites, and installed them as part of full bathroom renovations.
The biggest concern Wickwar homeowners have about walk-in showers is water escaping onto the bathroom floor. This comes down to two things: correct floor gradient (we laser-level every installation) and proper glass panel positioning. Get these right and you'll wonder why you didn't switch from a bath years ago.
A small town between Yate and Wotton-under-Edge, Wickwar's traditional properties deserve quality bathroom renovations.
Wickwar features Georgian townhouses on its high street, former brewery buildings, and modern housing estates.
Georgian properties in Wickwar may have original lead pipework that should be replaced during bathroom renovation.
being close to the Bristol Channel, South Gloucestershire gets milder winters but windy conditions. Good external ventilation for bathrooms is important. water hardness is moderate to hard (200-300 mg/l), similar to the Bristol area. Water softeners or scale inhibitors are worth considering with new boiler installations.
Walk-In Shower Considerations for Wickwar Properties
Walk-in showers in South Gloucestershire homes need careful consideration of splash zones. The glass panel position relative to the shower head determines whether water stays within the wet area. In Wickwar installations, we typically recommend panels at least 800mm wide positioned to create a natural water barrier without feeling enclosed.
Floor gradient is everything in a walk-in shower. In Wickwar properties with timber floors, we use pre-formed gradient trays that sit on the joists, creating the perfect 1:80 fall to the drain without the need for thick screed. This keeps the floor height change minimal — important when transitioning from shower area to dry bathroom floor.
If your South Gloucestershire walk-in shower feels cold, the room may lack adequate heating. Consider a bathroom-rated electric panel heater or extending your underfloor heating across the full floor area in your Wickwar bathroom.
For walk-in showers in Wickwar properties, a linear drain along the back wall creates the simplest floor gradient and the cleanest look — water falls in one direction rather than four, making tiling straightforward.
Consider adding a small fixed drying area within your South Gloucestershire walk-in shower zone — a slightly raised section beyond the shower head's reach where you can stand to dry off without stepping onto the main bathroom floor.

Common Walk-In Shower Mistakes to Avoid in Wickwar
Not considering door swing and access. In compact South Gloucestershire bathrooms, a shower enclosure door that clashes with the bathroom door or toilet is more common than you'd think in Wickwar installations.
Using silicone where grout should be, or grout where silicone should be. In South Gloucestershire bathrooms, movement joints (where walls meet floors, or where different materials meet) need flexible silicone, not rigid grout.
Using standard plasterboard in wet zones. In South Gloucestershire shower installations, moisture-resistant board (green or blue board) or tile backer board must be used. Standard plasterboard in a Wickwar shower area will sag and fail.

Common Questions About Walk-In Shower in Wickwar
Won't water splash everywhere?
Correct installation prevents this. We position the glass panel and slope the floor so water drains away from the bathroom. In our Wickwar installations, splashing is never an issue.
Do I need a big bathroom for a walk-in shower?
Not at all. A walk-in shower works from about 1200mm x 800mm — similar to a standard enclosure. The open design actually makes Wickwar bathrooms feel more spacious.
Is it suitable for older people?
A walk-in shower with a level-access tray (or no tray at all) is one of the best accessibility improvements you can make. No step to climb over, and you can add a fold-down seat and grab rails.
