Shower Rooms Aberdeen - Claude's Tradesmen

A shower room is a great option if you want a bathroom that feels simpler, more modern and better suited to how you live now. By removing the bath and designing the room around a proper showering space, it is often possible to create a bathroom that feels less cramped, easier to manage and more useful every day. We have fitted many shower rooms in Aberdeen, so we know how to plan them properly around the room, the layout and the way you want the space to work.

Built Around Modern Living

For many homes, a shower room makes more sense than a traditional bathroom layout. If the bath is rarely used, replacing it with a shower-led design can make the whole room feel more relevant to everyday life.

A Room That Feels Less Crowded

Taking out the bath can free up the layout and help the room feel calmer and less restricted. The result is often a bathroom that feels lighter, more balanced and easier to move around in.

More Freedom With the Layout

Once the room is no longer centred around a bath, there is often more flexibility in how the space can be arranged. That can make it easier to create a bathroom that feels more practical and works better as a whole.

Designed for the Way the Room Needs to Work

A good shower room is not just about taking the bath out. The shower size, screen position, storage, toilet placement and overall balance of the room all need to be planned properly so the finished result feels natural and well thought through.

A Better Fit for Daily Routines

A shower room is often chosen because it makes everyday life simpler. Whether you want a bathroom that feels quicker to use, more straightforward to maintain or more comfortable day to day, the layout can be designed around that.

Clear Pricing From the Beginning

You receive a professional, itemised fixed-price quote, so you know exactly what is included from the start. No vague figures, no unclear allowances, and no unexpected costs later.

How much is a shower room?

Prices start from around £7 500 (including VAT) for a straightforward refurbishment, with panels throughout and a similar layout.

Will I have a step for the shower?

It depends on your existing plumbing setup. If your current shower is level with the floor, it’s likely we can maintain that. However, if there’s already a step, we may or may not be able to remove it—this will depend on several factors, including drainage and floor structure.

Can I have both a bathtub and shower enclosure?

In most cases, yes—unless the bathroom is particularly small. To really make an impact, the best results usually come from combining a freestanding bathtub with a separate shower enclosure. It’s a winning combination that brings both style and practicality to your space.

What kind of enclosures can I get?

The most common types of enclosures are rectangular and quadrant, both available in a range of finishes and styles to suit your space. One option we often recommend—especially when dealing with more complex layouts—is a three-sided enclosure, which can be a clever solution in certain designs.

Can I change an electric shower to a thermostatic shower?

In most cases, yes—especially if you have a good combi boiler. If your home has a gravity-fed system with a tank in the loft, you may need to install a pump to achieve decent water pressure.

Can I change a shower from boiler to electric?

Technically yes, but it’s quite involved. We’d need to run a 10mm cable all the way back to the consumer unit, which typically means making access holes every metre or so to fish the cable through the wall. That’s in a modern timber-framed house—if the property is built with solid brick walls, surface-mounted trunking would likely be needed instead. Unless absolutely necessary, it’s often not worth the disruption and cost.

Are panels or tiles better?

UPVC panels are generally more affordable and easier to maintain, making them a practical choice for many bathrooms. Tiles, on the other hand, offer a more classic, high-end look—but they do come at a higher cost and require a bit more upkeep. That said, when using large-format tiles with epoxy grout, they can actually outperform panels in both quality and ease of cleaning—though this option tends to cost more than twice as much.

Is vinyl click flooring or tiles better?

We generally recommend vinyl click flooring, as it’s more affordable than tiles and feels warmer underfoot. The main situations where we’d suggest tiles instead are if you’re having a wetroom (where tiles are essential), if you’re planning underfloor heating (as tiles conduct heat more efficiently), or if you’re aiming for the most premium finish—tiles do have a slight edge in terms of overall appearance.

Absolutely fantastic team of people I had working on my bathroom, very hardworking, respectful, tidy and my bathroom looks absolutely amazing, they came straight in and covered my floor so it didn’t get dirty when they were going in and out with stuff. The materials they have used are of a high quality and the bathroom is even better than we imagined it to be. Once the bathroom was finished we noticed the shower head leaking slightly from the top, I emailed and told them and they had someone out straight away the next day to completely replace the shower head and it is now working perfectly, outstanding customer service and I highly recommend this company, the most professional team, I will be telling everyone about this company and how great they are. Thank you so much for giving me my dream bathroom.
