Matki bathroom installation in Gerrards Cross
Getting a Matki shower screen from a Bracknell-area supplier to a bathroom in Gerrards Cross is a twenty-five to thirty minute drive, and once a panel of that size has been cut to the exact measurements of an opening, there's no adjusting it on site if the opening turns out to be wrong. That's the detail that matters most with Matki: its enclosures and screens are built to a minimal, largely frameless aesthetic, with very little trim left to hide an inaccurate opening or an out-of-true wall, so the glass does the talking and the measuring has to be right before the order goes in, not after. We install luxury, fit-only bathrooms for homeowners across Gerrards Cross and the surrounding Buckinghamshire commuter villages — you source the Matki enclosure, sanitaryware and tiles; we strip out, first-fix, tile, fix the glass and snag, from £3,500.
What we install from Matki in Gerrards Cross
Matki is typically specified in Gerrards Cross for shower enclosures and screens designed around a clean, largely frameless run of glass, often as the centrepiece of an en-suite or family bathroom refit. The appeal is the minimal hardware — but that same minimalism means there's no deep frame to hide a mistake in the opening, the tray level or the tiling dimension beneath it. We work from the specification you've chosen, confirm exactly how the enclosure is configured and what hardware finish it uses, and build the strip-out, tiling and fixing sequence around getting the substrate correct, since the glass itself arrives pre-cut and fixed.
Installation considerations specific to Matki
Because a Matki panel is ordered to size and transported to site already cut, the wall fixing detail has to be settled before that panel leaves the supplier — there's no trimming a frameless screen down on site the way you might with a boxed, heavily-framed alternative. We measure the opening against the finished tiling plan, not the bare wall, confirm the shower tray will sit level, and check that the wall substrate at the exact hinge or channel fixing points is sound and correctly prepared. Get any of that wrong and the result isn't a quick fix on fitting day — it's a re-ordered panel and a delay, which is exactly what getting the sequence right at survey avoids.
How Gerrards Cross affects a typical Matki installation
Gerrards Cross sits far enough from our Bracknell base that scheduling a Matki fit means planning the full sequence in advance — strip-out, first fix, tiling, and the glass fixing itself — so that the pre-cut enclosure arrives on site exactly when the substrate is ready for it, rather than sitting around or being ordered before the opening is confirmed. As a commuter village, a lot of the properties we work on here have been extended or refitted over time rather than built from scratch, which means we're often confirming what an existing wall or floor build-up actually is before deciding where a Matki channel fixing can land, rather than assuming a standard stud or masonry detail applies.
Fit-only, from £3,500
We install Matki enclosures and screens on a fit-only basis — you choose and supply the glass, hardware finish, sanitaryware and tiles, and we handle the strip-out, first fix, tiling, wall preparation, glass fixing and snagging. Installations across Gerrards Cross start from £3,500, and every project begins with a fixed-price £125 survey, deducted from your project cost if you go ahead, where we measure the opening and confirm what your property's walls need before the enclosure is ordered.
Frequently asked questions
We'd recommend the survey first. Because a Matki panel is cut to size before it arrives, we need to confirm the opening, tray level and wall fixing points before the order is placed, so it's fitted correctly first time.
We fit only. You choose and buy your Matki enclosure or screen through a showroom or designer, and we handle the strip-out, first fix, tiling and glass installation, from £3,500.
It's around 25 to 30 minutes from our Bracknell base. We plan the full fitting sequence, including when the pre-cut Matki panel should arrive, so it's ready for site exactly when the substrate is ready for it.
It can, which is why we confirm the actual wall and floor build-up at survey rather than assuming a standard detail. Extended or refitted properties sometimes have mixed stud and masonry construction behind the final finish.
Because there's very little trim on a Matki enclosure to hide an out-of-true wall, we correct the substrate at first fix stage, before tiling and before the panel is ordered, so the finished glass line sits correctly.
