As a guide, budget £7,500 to £17,500 including VAT for an accessible bathroom in Welling; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in London run at about 25% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.
Level-access shower
- Thermostatic shower, seat and rails
Accessible wet room
- Comfort-height WC, support rails
Walk-in or low-level bath
- Door or low-entry bath

Working in Welling
We cover every part of Welling, including DA6, DA15 and DA16, and nearby Bexley (2.3 miles) and Eltham (2.5 miles).
In Welling, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If someone in your Welling home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at. For Welling homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Welling is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Decisions to make first
Screen or curtain
A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.
Rail positions
Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a Disabled Facilities Grant from your local council can pay up to £30,000 towards adaptations such as a level-access shower. Fitting a new electric shower, or any other new circuit or wiring change in the bathroom, is notifiable under Part P.
