Shower Room Doncaster - Free Bathroom Consultation

• Wall and floor tiling carried out by our own tilers, not a subcontracted crew
• Non-slip flooring, grab rails and fold-down or fixed seating for anyone who needs a safer, more accessible shower
• Moving or adding electrics for shower pumps, lighting or extractor fans, carried out by a Part P certified electrician
• Any gas or plumbing work needed to feed the new shower, carried out to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds standard, or by a Gas Safe registered engineer where gas is involved
• Extractor fan fitting and ventilation checks to keep steam and damp under control
• Making good the plastering and any carpentry - boxing in pipework, building storage niches or plinths
• Removing and disposing of the old suite and waste through our own licensed carrier

• Knocking through walls or extending floor space to create a room from scratch - that's structural work that can be priced, but it's quoted separately from a standard conversion
• Underfloor heating isn't included as standard - it's an option costed at the consultation if you want it
• Upgrading or replacing a boiler because your current one can't keep up with a proper power shower - this gets flagged at the site visit and quoted on its own
• Planning permission or building control applications for structural changes - you'll be told if one's needed, but making the application is down to you
• Imported or bespoke tiles, screens and fittings ordered outside the standard ranges - these can add to both cost and lead time, which gets flagged before you commit

1. Book your free consultation -- Call and describe roughly what you're picturing - a walk-in shower, a wet-floor room, or just more space than your current bath allows. A home visit gets booked at a time that works for you, including evenings and weekends if you're working full-time.
2. Home visit, measuring and 3D design -- A designer comes to your house, measures the actual room, checks the plumbing and drainage you've already got, and talks through what's realistic for the space. You'll see a 3D CAD visualisation of how the finished shower room will look before any decision is made.
3. Written quote and contract -- You get a proper written quote, broken down by what's included, and a signed contract before any work starts or any money changes hands beyond an agreed deposit. Nothing is left as a verbal-only agreement.
4. Strip-out and first fix -- The old bath comes out, pipework and wiring get moved or capped, and if you're going for a level-access wet floor, the sub-floor is dug out, insulated and tanked before anything else happens. This is usually the messiest and noisiest stage, and it's where most of the plumbing and electrical work happens.
5. Tiling, screen fitting and finishing -- Walls and floors are tiled, the shower tray or wet-floor drain is fitted, the glass screen goes in, and the plastering, carpentry and any grab rails or seating are finished off.
6. Snagging and sign-off -- You walk round the finished room together, anything that needs adjusting gets sorted, and you're handed your guarantee paperwork and signed completion sheet.

Recent UK cost guides put a typical shower room conversion at somewhere between £4,000 and £7,000, rising to around £12,000 for a larger room or a higher-end finish - engineered stone, feature tiling, a bigger walk-in screen, that sort of thing. Where your job falls in that range depends on things a phone call can't tell you: whether the existing drainage and floor joists can take a level-access wet floor without extra structural work, how far pipework and electrics need to be moved, how much tiling there is, and what fittings you choose. That's why every quote follows a home visit rather than a figure given over the phone - it's the only way to price the job on what's actually behind your walls and under your floor, not a guess. You won't be charged for that visit, and you're not committed to anything by having it done.

Taking a bath out and putting a shower in sounds like a small job until you've actually done it - the pipework behind an old bath is rarely exactly where a new shower tray or wet-floor drain needs it to be, and getting that wrong is how conversions run over time and budget. That part of the job is kept in-house rather than handed to whoever's free that week: plumbing capped and re-routed to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds standard, any electrics for pumps or extractor fans moved by a Part P certified electrician, and gas work, where a job needs it, done only by a Gas Safe registered engineer. It's been done this way for over 20 years as a family-run team, with the consultation happening in your own bathroom rather than a showroom. Plastering and making good, once the old bath's gone and pipework's been moved, falls to tradespeople with around four decades of combined experience between them, so patched walls don't stand out against the rest of the room. None of this is pitched as the cheapest shower room conversion going in Doncaster, and it isn't trying to be - a written contract and a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation sit behind the job instead, and a fair share of new enquiries still come from people who had a bath swapped out years ago and are back for a second bathroom, or telling someone else to make the call.

Most calls to convert an old bath into a shower come from Doncaster itself, and the shape of the job changes street by street more than you'd expect. Terraced bathrooms in Balby and Hexthorpe are often the tightest to work in - taking out a full-length bath there can free up enough floor for a proper walk-in shower rather than the shower-over-bath most of these houses were originally built with.

Around Bessacarr and Cantley, conversions tend to go the other way - there's usually space to spare already, and the ask is a wider double-width glass screen or a feature tiled wall rather than anything space-saving. Out near Sprotbrough and Adwick-le-Street, older bathrooms often still have the original cast-iron bath sat in an awkwardly shaped alcove, which usually means a shower tray or screen has to be cut or piece-fitted on site rather than ordered off the shelf. The same applies around the stone cottages of Conisbrough and Tickhill, where narrow internal doorways can rule out getting a one-piece glass screen through the house at all, which changes what gets ordered before the job even starts. Apartments at Doncaster Lakeside and the Marina rarely have a full bath to begin with, so the work there is usually fitting a compact corner shower into a small footprint rather than a full bath removal. Families around Auckley, Branton and Cantley often want a second, faster shower fitted so mornings before school don't back up around one bathroom. And in the older brick terraces nearer the River Don and out towards Isle of Axholme villages such as Epworth, Haxey and Owston Ferry, pulling the old bath away from the wall sometimes uncovers ageing pipework or a damp patch that had been hidden behind the bath panel for years, which gets priced and dealt with before the new shower goes in, not left for later. The same team also covers Rotherham, Barnsley, Sheffield, Wakefield, Leeds, York, Manchester and towns including Bawtry, Thorne, Hatfield, Armthorpe, Mexborough and Gainsborough, with the home visit working the same way wherever you're based.

A cluttered bath you never use isn't going to sort itself out, and the only way to know what a shower room would actually cost and look like in your bathroom is to get someone round to measure it properly. The consultation costs nothing, there's no pressure to book anything afterwards, and evening and weekend visits are available if weekdays don't work for you.
