How Quickly Can You Convert Your Bath Into a Shower Room?

/in /by

Converting a bath into a shower room is one of the most popular bathroom upgrades, and one of the first questions homeowners ask is: how long does it actually take? The good news is that, in most cases, a bath-to-shower conversion can be completed far quicker than people expect.

For a straightforward bath-to-shower swap, the work can often be completed in as little as 7 days. This type of conversion usually involves removing the existing bath, installing a shower tray or level-access base, fitting shower glass, and updating the plumbing to suit the new layout. Because the footprint often stays the same, disruption is kept to a minimum.

The condition of your existing bathroom plays a big role in timings. If the plumbing is already in the right place and the walls are sound, the job moves quickly. However, if pipework needs relocating, floors need reinforcing, or walls require additional preparation, the project may take a little longer. Even then, most conversions are still completed within one working week.

Tile choices can also affect how long the job takes. Large-format tiles or full-height tiling may add extra time compared to simple panel systems or partial tiling. That said, many modern shower wall panels are designed to be installed quickly while still delivering a high-end finish,  ideal for customers who want speed without compromising on style.

Another factor is whether you’re creating a fully enclosed shower or a walk-in shower room. Walk-in showers are increasingly popular, especially for accessibility and future-proofing, and they don’t necessarily take longer to install. In fact, removing the bath can open up the space, making installation easier and improving layout options.

Homeowners are often surprised by how little downtime there is. In many cases, you’ll only be without bathing facilities for a short period, and experienced installers will plan the work to minimise inconvenience. Clear scheduling, good preparation, and having all materials ready before work begins are key to a smooth, fast conversion.

Beyond speed, converting a bath to a shower room offers practical benefits. Showers are easier to access, simpler to clean, and better suited to busy households. They can also make a bathroom feel larger, brighter, and more modern, adding real value to your home.

In short, if you’re worried about weeks of disruption, there’s no need. With professional installation and the right planning, converting your bath into a stylish, functional shower room can be quicker, cleaner, and easier than you might think.

Frameless Glass Shower Trends: Why Minimal Is Taking Over Modern Bathrooms

/in /by

Frameless glass showers have gone from luxury feature to modern bathroom essential, and it’s easy to see why. Clean lines, open space, and a premium finish make frameless glass one of the most requested upgrades in contemporary bathroom design. As homeowners move away from bulky enclosures and plastic frames, the demand for sleek, minimalist shower solutions continues to rise.

One of the biggest trends driving frameless glass showers is the shift towards open, spa-like bathrooms. People want their bathrooms to feel calm, uncluttered, and relaxing. Frameless glass helps achieve this by removing visual barriers. Without thick frames or heavy hardware, the room feels larger, brighter, and more connected even in smaller bathrooms.

Another key trend is the popularity of walk-in showers. Frameless glass pairs perfectly with walk-in designs, especially when combined with low-profile or level-access shower trays. This not only looks stylish but also improves accessibility, making it a smart choice for future-proofing a home. Homeowners are increasingly thinking long-term, choosing designs that work for all ages without compromising on appearance.

Thicker safety glass is also becoming more common. Modern frameless showers typically use toughened glass that feels solid and high-end, offering both durability and peace of mind. Many customers are surprised by how strong frameless glass actually is, dispelling the myth that it’s fragile or impractical for everyday use.

In terms of finishes, minimal hardware is leading the way. Slim hinges, discreet brackets, and handle-free designs are all on trend. When hardware is used, matte black, brushed brass, and polished chrome remain popular choices, allowing homeowners to match their shower to taps, radiators, or accessories for a cohesive look.

There’s also growing interest in easy-clean glass coatings. While frameless showers already reduce grime build-up by eliminating frames, protective coatings take it a step further. These treatments help repel water, limescale, and soap residue, keeping glass clearer for longer and reducing cleaning time, a big win for busy households.

Ultimately, frameless glass showers tick every box: style, practicality, and long-term value. They enhance natural light, elevate the overall design of the bathroom, and create a high-end feel without unnecessary complexity. Whether part of a full renovation or a simple upgrade, it’s clear that frameless glass isn’t just a trend, it’s the new standard in modern shower design.

How to Choose the Right Shower for a Small Bathroom

/in /by

Designing a small bathroom can feel like a challenge, but choosing the right shower can completely transform the space. With smart planning and the right products, even the smallest bathroom can feel open, practical, and stylish. The key is understanding how layout, materials, and design choices work together.

One of the first decisions to make is shower type. In compact bathrooms, corner showers are often a great solution. They make use of otherwise wasted space and keep the centre of the room clear. Quadrant or offset quadrant enclosures are especially popular, offering a comfortable showering area without dominating the room.

Walk-in showers are another excellent option for small bathrooms. While they might sound like they need lots of space, a well-designed walk-in shower can actually make a room feel larger. By removing bulky enclosures and replacing them with a single glass screen, you create a more open layout and improve light flow.

Glass choice plays a huge role in how spacious a bathroom feels. Clear, frameless glass is ideal for small spaces as it removes visual barriers and allows the eye to travel across the room uninterrupted. Thick frames or frosted panels can visually “cut up” the space, making the bathroom feel smaller than it really is.

The size and profile of the shower tray also matter. Slimline or low-profile trays help keep the floor level feeling consistent, which visually expands the room. In some cases, a level-access or wet-room-style base can be used, creating a seamless look that’s both modern and practical.

Storage is another important consideration. In a small bathroom, clutter quickly becomes noticeable. Built-in wall niches for shampoo and soap help keep the shower area tidy without adding shelves or caddies that eat into space. Choosing minimal fixtures and concealed valves also helps maintain a clean, streamlined look.

Lighting and colour choices shouldn’t be overlooked. Light-coloured tiles, large-format tiles, and consistent finishes throughout the shower and bathroom can all make a small space feel bigger. Matching the shower fittings to other bathroom accessories creates cohesion and avoids visual distraction.

Finally, think about long-term usability. A shower that’s easy to access, simple to clean, and durable will serve you well for years to come. Small bathrooms benefit most from practical, low-maintenance solutions that don’t compromise on comfort or appearance. Choosing the right shower for a small bathroom isn’t about squeezing something in — it’s about making smart design choices. With the right layout, glass, and finishes, your shower can become the feature that makes your bathroom feel bigger, brighter, and better to use every day.

Bathroom & Shower Trends for 2026: The Shower Experts’ View

/in /by

As we move into 2026, bathroom design continues to evolve beyond pure functionality and into the realm of everyday luxury and wellbeing. At The Shower Experts, we’re seeing a clear shift towards bathrooms that feel calm, intentional, and inspired by high-end hotel design,  spaces that offer a genuine sense of escape at home.

One of the biggest trends for 2026 is the continued rise of boutique hotel styling. Homeowners are favouring clean lines, large-format tiles, and seamless finishes that create a refined, uncluttered look. Neutral tones such as soft greys, warm stone, and muted earthy shades are leading the way, often paired with subtle veining or textured surfaces to add depth without overwhelming the space. These designs are timeless, elegant, and easy to live with.

Walk-in showers remain at the heart of modern bathrooms, with frameless glass, minimal profiles, and concealed drainage becoming the norm. In 2026, it’s less about making a statement and more about achieving effortless simplicity. Linear drains, flush shower trays, and carefully considered layouts allow the shower area to blend seamlessly into the rest of the room, enhancing both flow and functionality.

Another key trend is the focus on practical luxury. Homeowners want bathrooms that look exceptional but also perform brilliantly day to day. Easy-clean surfaces, wall-hung sanitaryware, concealed cisterns, and high-quality fittings are all becoming standard choices. Matte black and brushed finishes continue to be popular, offering contrast and character while maintaining a sophisticated edge.

Lighting also plays an increasingly important role in 2026 bathroom design. Layered lighting, combining functional spotlights with softer ambient illumination helps create a space that feels relaxing and adaptable from morning through to evening. Large mirrors and clever use of natural light further enhance the sense of space and calm.

At The Shower Experts, our focus for 2026 is on delivering bathrooms that balance design, comfort, and longevity. By combining expert installation with thoughtful material choices and attention to detail, we help our clients achieve bathrooms that feel luxurious today and remain timeless for years to come.

If you’re planning a bathroom or shower upgrade in 2026, now is the perfect time to invest in a space that’s beautifully designed, expertly built, and tailored to the way you live.

Why 2026 Is the Year of the Shower-First Bathroom

/in /by

As we head into 2026, one of the clearest bathroom trends we’re seeing at The Shower Experts is the continued move away from traditional baths and towards well-designed, spacious shower areas. While baths will always have a place in some homes, more homeowners are choosing to remove them in favour of practical, stylish shower solutions that better suit modern living.

Lifestyle changes play a huge role in this shift. Busy households, smaller bathroom footprints, and a growing focus on convenience mean that showers are often used far more frequently than baths. In response, clients are investing in larger walk-in showers that feel luxurious, open, and hotel-inspired, rather than holding onto a bath that rarely gets used.

For 2026, the emphasis is firmly on space and flow. Removing the bath allows for improved layouts, making bathrooms feel bigger, brighter, and more functional. Frameless glass panels, low-profile or flush shower trays, and continuous floor tiling help create a seamless finish that enhances both appearance and accessibility.

Another key factor driving this trend is accessibility and future-proofing. Many homeowners are thinking long-term, opting for showers that are easier and safer to use at every stage of life. Walk-in showers with minimal thresholds, non-slip surfaces, and discreet grab solutions provide peace of mind without compromising on style.

Design-wise, showers in 2026 are all about refined simplicity. Large-format tiles, neutral colour palettes, and subtle textures create calm, spa-like environments. Features such as rainfall shower heads, recessed shelving, and concealed plumbing elevate the experience, transforming the shower into the focal point of the bathroom.

There’s also a strong focus on practical luxury. Easy-clean glass, durable materials, and expertly installed waterproofing ensure that these spaces don’t just look good, but perform exceptionally well day to day. By removing the bath, homeowners often find they can invest more into higher-quality finishes and fittings within the shower area itself.

At The Shower Experts, we specialise in bath-to-shower conversions that maximise space, comfort, and style. For 2026, “baths out, showers in” isn’t just a trend — it’s a smart, future-ready choice that reflects how people really use their bathrooms.

If you’re considering an upgrade this year, a professionally designed walk-in shower could be the perfect place to start.

Bath Out, Shower In: The Smarter Way to Transform Your Bathroom

/in /by

When it comes to modernising a bathroom, few upgrades make as big an impact as replacing an old, unused bath with a stylish new shower. At The Shower Experts, our Bath Out, Shower In service is designed to give homeowners a fast, practical, and affordable transformation, without the disruption of a full renovation.

More and more people are choosing showers over baths for their daily routines, whether for convenience, accessibility, or simply to create a cleaner, more contemporary look. Our service focuses on taking the stress out of that upgrade. From the initial consultation to the final sealant, we handle every step with precision, care, and industry-leading expertise.

One of the biggest advantages of switching to a shower is usability. For customers with mobility challenges, climbing in and out of a traditional bath can be unsafe. A low-level or level-access shower creates a safer, more comfortable experience without compromising on style. We offer a wide range of enclosure designs, tray options, wall panels, and fittings to match any taste—from minimal and modern to luxurious and spa-inspired.

Speed is another key benefit. A full bathroom renovation can take weeks, but our specialist team can complete most Bath Out, Shower In installations within a couple of days, meaning minimal disruption to your home and routine. We carefully remove your existing bath, prepare the area, install your chosen shower system, and finish everything to the highest professional standard.

Quality matters to us, which is why we only use trusted materials and products designed for longevity. Our shower wall panels are waterproof, easy to clean, and available in a variety of colours and finishes. Our enclosures and glass screens are durable and sleek, helping your bathroom feel bigger and brighter instantly.

Whether you’re updating a rental property, improving accessibility, or simply giving your bathroom a fresh new look, our Bath Out, Shower In service offers a cost-effective upgrade that adds value and comfort to your home.

Transform Your Home with a Full Shower Room or Wetroom

/in /by

If you’re planning a bathroom upgrade in 2026, a full shower room or wetroom is one of the smartest and most stylish choices you can make. At The Shower Experts, we’ve seen demand for these modern, practical spaces surge,  and for good reason. They offer a clean, contemporary look, easier maintenance, and improved accessibility, all while adding genuine value to your home.

A shower room is ideal for homeowners who want a dedicated, streamlined space built entirely around an enclosed or open shower area. With clever design and the right materials, even small rooms can be transformed into bright, luxurious environments that feel bigger and more comfortable. Minimalist screens, slip-resistant flooring, and high-quality wall panels all work together to create a fresh, modern finish that stands the test of time.

For those wanting the ultimate modern bathroom, a wetroom takes things a step further. Instead of a shower tray or enclosure, the whole room is designed to be waterproof, with carefully graded flooring that allows water to drain seamlessly. Wetrooms are not only visually stunning, giving your home a boutique-hotel feel,  but they’re also incredibly practical. They’re perfect for anyone wanting improved accessibility, offering a truly walk-in experience with no steps, lips, or barriers.

Both options give you freedom in design. Want a rainfall shower? Built-in storage niches? Sleek black fittings or a calming spa-style finish? Wetrooms and shower rooms can be customised to match any aesthetic. And because they use waterproof materials like PVC wall panels, panels minimise grout lines and reduce long-term maintenance.

At The Shower Experts, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality installations with meticulous attention to detail. From waterproofing to drainage to ventilation, every stage is handled with precision to ensure your room not only looks incredible but performs flawlessly for years.

If you’re thinking about upgrading to a full shower room or wetroom in 2026, now is the perfect time to start planning….and booking. Our installation schedule fills quickly, and early booking gives you greater choice, smoother timelines, and plenty of time to design a room you’ll love.

Why Autumn Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade Your Bathroom

/in /by

As the summer winds down and the cooler months approach, many homeowners start turning their attention to indoor projects. Autumn is an ideal time to give your bathroom the upgrade it deserves,  and at The Shower Experts, we’re here to help.

One of the key advantages of planning a bathroom renovation in September is the timing. With the busy summer holidays over, households are settling back into routine, making it easier to manage a project. It also ensures your bathroom is refreshed and ready before the festive season, when guests may be visiting and family gatherings are on the horizon.

It also means you’ll have your bathroom completed before the darker, colder months set in, giving you a warm, functional, and modern space to enjoy throughout winter.

Whether you’re considering a new walk-in shower, a modern ensuite, or an accessible bathroom solution, our expert team can design and install the right option for your home. With our experience and focus on customer satisfaction, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the work is carried out to the highest standard.
