Walk in Shower Enclosure Kits
Taking the guesswork out of creating a walk-in shower is exactly what a walk-in shower enclosure kit is designed to do. Rather than sourcing a glass screen, shower tray, waste, and support hardware separately — and hoping everything is compatible when it arrives — a walk-in shower enclosure kit bundles everything you need into one carefully matched package, ready to install straight out of the box.
At ShowerBoard we stock a hand-picked range of complete walk-in shower enclosure kits from trusted UK bathroom brands, in a variety of sizes to suit most bathroom layouts.

What’s Included in a Walk-In Shower Enclosure Kit?
A walk-in shower enclosure kit typically includes everything required to complete a full walk-in shower installation in one purchase. Most kits contain a clear glass walk-in shower screen — or in some cases two panels for corner configurations — a compatible low-profile shower tray, a shower waste and trap, and the necessary support hardware such as a wall-mounted brace arm or stabilising bar. Some premium kits also include wall profiles, sealing strips, and fixings, leaving very little for you or your fitter to source separately.
Buying as a kit rather than individual components has real practical advantages — every element is pre-matched for size, style, and compatibility, significantly reducing the risk of ordering mismatched parts or discovering on installation day that your screen and tray don’t work together.
The Right Kit for Your Bathroom Size
Walk-in shower enclosure kits are available in a range of sizes to suit the most common UK bathroom and en-suite dimensions. Smaller kits from around 1000×700mm suit compact shower zones and tighter en-suite spaces where floor space is limited. Mid-range kits at 1200×800mm and 1400×800mm are the most popular choice for standard family bathrooms — comfortable for most adults and compatible with the majority of bathroom layouts without requiring significant building alterations. Larger kits from 1600×900mm upwards suit generous shower zones where a truly spacious showering experience is the priority.
Choosing the Right Configuration
Most walk-in shower enclosure kits come in either a single panel or a two-panel configuration. A single panel kit — one large glass screen with a support arm and tray — suits alcove and recess positions where surrounding walls contain the shower on two or three sides. A two-panel kit adds a smaller return glass panel at 90 degrees to the main screen, creating an L-shaped enclosure that suits more open corner positions and provides better water containment where fewer walls are available to enclose the shower zone.
Frame Finishes and Glass Options
Walk-in shower enclosure kits in our range are available in the most popular frame finishes — polished chrome, matt black, brushed nickel, and brushed brass — so you can choose a kit that coordinates naturally with your existing bathroom hardware and brassware. Glass options across the range include clear toughened glass, with easy-clean hydrophobic coating available on selected kits for low-maintenance day-to-day upkeep.
