Walk-in shower installation on Wentworth Estate
We install luxury, fit-only bathrooms for homeowners on Wentworth Estate in Virginia Water, Surrey — the private, gated estate built around Wentworth Club and its golf courses, home of the BMW PGA Championship — around 15 to 20 minutes by road from our Bracknell base. A walk-in shower installation here is a focused, single-area job: a frameless or semi-frameless enclosure with a level-access or low-profile tray, properly tanked and fitted. You source the sanitaryware, enclosure, tiles and brassware; we strip out, first-fix, tile, plumb and snag, coordinating access with the estate and any managing agent so the programme runs without delay at the gate.
What a walk-in shower installation covers
This is not a full wet room conversion or an en-suite built from scratch — it's forming a defined tray area, usually level-access, with the correct fall to waste, tanking the shower area and adjoining upstands properly, tiling, then fitting the frameless or semi-frameless glass enclosure you've chosen. The frameless look only works if the floor and walls underneath the tiling are genuinely level and square; glass has no tolerance for an out-of-true corner the way a framed shower cubicle does, so accurate setting-out before tiling starts is where the job is actually won or lost.
Coordinating access with the estate
Being a private, gated estate, Wentworth has its own access arrangements, and we coordinate our visits and any material deliveries — including the shower enclosure glass and tray, which both need careful handling — with the estate and the relevant managing agent in advance. This is agreed before the installation starts, so the programme of strip-out, tanking, tiling and fitting runs on schedule rather than being held up by access logistics on the day.
Installation considerations for a frameless enclosure
We check floor levels and existing waste position at survey, confirm the floor build-up has enough depth for the fall a level-access tray needs without creating a trip hazard at the threshold, and match the fixing system to the glass thickness the enclosure manufacturer specifies. On substantial properties built around Wentworth Club's grounds, we also check wall construction before confirming a layout, since that determines what the tanking and fixing system need to cope with.
How the job runs
We start with a paid £125 survey covering floor levels, waste position, wall construction and estate access requirements. From there: strip-out of the existing shower or bath, first-fix plumbing changes if the waste is moving, tanking, tiling, then fitting the tray, enclosure and brassware you've sourced, finished with a full snag check. Installs start from £3,500 on a fit-only basis, with access and delivery timing agreed with the estate well before work begins.
Frequently asked questions
We coordinate visits and material deliveries, including the shower enclosure glass and tray, with the estate and any managing agent in advance, so the installation programme runs without delays caused by access arrangements on the day.
No, we're fit-only. You choose and buy the enclosure, tray, tiles and brassware, and we handle strip-out, first-fix, tanking, tiling, plumbing and snagging.
Around 15 to 20 minutes by road from Bracknell, which we factor into scheduling alongside the estate's own access requirements.
A walk-in shower uses a defined tray, usually level-access, within a frameless or semi-frameless enclosure. A wet room tanks and falls the whole floor with no raised tray — a larger-scope, more disruptive job.
Installs start from £3,500 on a fit-only basis, covering strip-out, first-fix, tanking, tiling, plumbing and snagging, confirmed after the £125 survey.
