The Customer’s Aim
The customer wanted to modernise their bathroom and improve usability by replacing the existing bath with a walk-in shower.
Bath-to-shower conversions are a highly practical solution for many homeowners. They can help make the room feel more open, improve access, reduce step-over height, and create a cleaner, more contemporary bathroom layout. In this Weston-super-Mare project, the goal was to deliver a shower space that looked smart, worked efficiently and complemented the rest of the room.
The Work Carried Out
This bathroom project involved the removal of the existing bath and the installation of a new walk-in shower enclosure with a sleek glass screen and modern shower fittings.
The work included careful preparation of the shower area, fitting a new shower tray, installing the plumbing and shower controls, and creating a neat, waterproof finish around the shower space. Large-format wall tiles were used to give the bathroom a clean, modern look, while the layout was completed with quality fixtures and fittings to match the overall design.
Alongside the shower installation, the room also features a modern basin, WC, towel radiator and attractive flooring, helping to create a bright and contemporary bathroom space.
Step-by-Step Project Breakdown
1. Removal of the Existing Bath
The first stage of the project involved taking out the existing bath and preparing the space for the new shower installation. This type of work requires careful planning to ensure the area is ready for the new plumbing layout, tray position and finished surfaces.
2. Preparing the Shower Area
Once the bath had been removed, the area was prepared for the walk-in shower. This included getting the wall and floor areas ready for installation and ensuring the new setup would provide both reliable performance and a clean finish.
3. Tiling and Shower Wall Finishing
The shower walls were finished with large, modern grey tiles, giving the room a fresh, premium appearance. Large-format tiles help create a clean visual finish and can work particularly well in contemporary bathrooms.
4. Installing the Shower Tray and Glass Screen
A new shower tray was installed in place of the bath, and a fixed glass screen was fitted to create the walk-in shower design. This keeps the room open in appearance while clearly defining the showering area.
5. Fitting the Shower Controls and Head
The shower setup includes stylish modern controls and a shower fitting arrangement designed to complement the room’s overall finish. The placement and installation were completed to create a neat and practical showering space.
6. Completing the Bathroom Finish
The completed room presents a bright, modern and highly usable bathroom layout, with the walk-in shower as the central feature. The final result is a practical upgrade that improves both appearance and day-to-day convenience.
The Finished Result
The completed bathroom now benefits from a modern walk-in shower in place of the old bath, creating a much cleaner and more spacious feel.
The finished installation includes:
- A sleek walk-in shower design
- Large-format tiled shower walls
- A modern shower tray
- A glass shower screen
- Contemporary bathroom fittings
- Matching sanitaryware

This type of bathroom upgrade is ideal for homeowners looking to modernise their bathroom, improve accessibility, or simply make better use of the space available.
