walk in shower

Any idea on how I go about installing a walk in shower. Was looking through the golden pages and couldnt find anyone who specialised in it.

Should I go down the road of hiring separate tiler/plumber myself ?

Do you mean an ordinary shower or one with a flat floor and no step at all?

Are there no parks in your area?

Sorry for the delay in getting back. Its a flat floor one, no step.
The room itself is quite small with a radiator already plumbed in it (new build).
Would the radiator prevent me from turning the entire room into one of these wet rooms, or should I install a partition to prevent spray onto the rad ?

The radiator won't prevent you from your idea. The paint will just wear quicker.
Most radiators are painted with a satin (Crown) or satwin wood ( dulux) paint. These will wear quickly in your envoirment. I suggest you paint it with enamel (sp?) paint. International is a brand that you can get in most big harware stores and they sell enamel paint for radiators.

Good luck!

Thanks for that Steve.

The issue then is how the floor drains when you use the shower. What you could do if raise the entry area say 50mm and then lay the rest to a slope onto a corner.

These things are also known as "Wet Rooms". The only downside is cleaning them. Water and soap splash everywhere. The good point is there is room for two!!!
