Replacing an Existing Shower Screen

Many homeowners choose to replace an existing shower screen without renovating the entire bathroom.

In most cases the reason is a combination of factors rather than just one problem.

Common reasons include:

• the shower screen looks dated
• water escapes onto the bathroom floor
• the layout does not work well
• the homeowner wants to upgrade from framed glass to a more modern frameless screen

In some bathrooms the original shower screen was installed many years ago and the layout was not carefully planned.

This can lead to problems such as poor water control, awkward door openings, or a shower screen style that no longer suits the bathroom.

Replacing the screen can be an opportunity to improve both the appearance and the functionality of the shower.

With over 30 years experience and more than 50,000 bathroom visits, Sam has seen many situations where a new shower screen significantly improves how the shower works.

Before replacing an existing screen, it is helpful to consider the bathroom layout, available space, and the style of screen that will work best within the existing area.

Getting advice early can help ensure the replacement screen solves the original problems rather than creating new ones.
