What Drives the Cost
Eight Factors That Determine
Your Shower Installation Budget.
Every shower installation is shaped by eight variables. Understanding them empowers you to spend exactly where it matters most — and protect the rest.
Shower Size & Configuration
A single alcove shower costs far less than a full walk-in wet room. Larger footprints mean more glass, more waterproofing, and more falls to plan for — but open up far more design freedom.
Tile & Glass Selection
Entry-level porcelain from R150/m². Toughened glass from R1,200/m², rising to R2,800/m² for low-iron ultra-clear panels. Material choice alone can swing a shower cost by R8,000–R35,000.
Shower Head & Valve Specification
Shower systems range from R1,800 to R28,000+ per set. We source across all tiers — Roca, Grohe, Crosswater, Hansgrohe — and advise on where specification pays dividends.
Glass Type & Hardware
A basic semi-frameless door starts at R6,500. A fully frameless floor-to-ceiling enclosure with premium hinges runs R18,000–R42,000 depending on glass thickness and hardware finish.
Waterproofing & Falls
Stripping to substrate, correcting the fall to drain, and applying a certified waterproof membrane is non-negotiable. Budget R4,500–R12,000. This is never a line to cut — failures here cost five times as much to fix.
Drainage & Niche Detailing
A standard point drain starts at R1,800. A full-width linear drain with recessed niche and shelf detailing runs R6,500–R16,000. Precision here is what separates a shower that works from one that pools.
Plumbing & Water Pressure
Relocating a shower mixer or supply line adds R3,500–R12,000. Upgrading pressure or adding a second shower head circuit adds R4,000–R14,000. Plan these in the design phase — retrofitting costs three times more.
Design & Project Management
Our 3D design and project management is included in all installation packages. Standalone services start from R1,500 — most clients find it saves twice that in avoided mistakes.

Small Bathroom Shower Solutions
Small Space.
Extraordinary Outcome.
Fitting a shower into a small bathroom is not a lesser project — it is a harder one. Door swing, glass configuration, and drainage fall matter more in a compact footprint than in any other part of the room.
Our AI-powered 3D visualisation is especially powerful here — seeing your new shower at scale in photorealistic 3D before committing prevents the most common and costly installation mistakes.

Common Questions
Shower Installation Costs - Answered Honestly.
FAQ
How much does a shower installation cost in Johannesburg?
A shower installation in Johannesburg starts at around R6,500 for a door replacement and ranges to R95,000+ for a bespoke wet-room transformation. The variables are glass configuration, tile and stone quality, drainage type, and whether plumbing is relocated. We provide a fully itemised fixed-price quote with no provisional sums.
FAQ
What does it cost to fit a shower into a small bathroom?
A compact shower installation under 4m² typically costs R6,500–R38,000 depending on scope. A door replacement sits at the lower end. A full walk-in conversion with custom glass and premium drainage sits at the upper end. We 3D-design small showers with particular spatial precision — the decisions matter more in a compact footprint.
FAQ
What is the difference between a frameless and semi-frameless shower door?
A semi-frameless door uses minimal aluminium framing around the hinges and handle, typically starting from R6,500. A fully frameless enclosure uses thicker 10mm toughened glass with no visible framing, starting from R12,500. Frameless is the cleaner-looking, premium option, and easier to keep watertight over time since there is no metal channel to trap water or grow mould.
FAQ
Do you include 3D design in your shower installation cost?
Yes. Quick, latest-tech-powered 3D design and full project management is included in every installation package. You receive photorealistic renders, a curated material board and a design walkthrough — before any work begins and before you commit to a single rand. Standalone visualisation starts from R1,500.
FAQ
How long does a shower installation take?
A shower door replacement takes 1–2 working days. A full walk-in wet room conversion typically takes 3–7 working days depending on scope, drainage work and glass lead times. Our fixed timeline is agreed before build commences — we commit to it and we keep it.
FAQ
Can you supply shower glass and hardware as well as install it?
Yes — supply and installation is how the majority of our clients work with us. We source from premium suppliers including Crosswater, Grohe, Hansgrohe, Roca and RAK Ceramics across all price tiers. Supplying through us eliminates measuring errors, delivery damage and fitting incompatibilities — and the warranty is total.
