What does a replacement bath cost in Crowthorne?
Our guide price for a replacement bath in Crowthorne is £1,000–£2,800 including VAT. Prices in South East England run at about 12% 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.

Working in Crowthorne
As well as Crowthorne itself (GU47, RG40 and RG45), we survey in Sandhurst, Yateley and Camberley.
Homes in and around Crowthorne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Survey visits in Crowthorne cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. Before a new bath is ordered for a Crowthorne home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Supplies across most of Berkshire are hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
Decisions to make first
Size
Most UK baths are 1700 × 700 mm. Going longer or wider than the old bath means re-tiling and checking that the new one fits up the stairs.
Bath panel
Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.
Rules that apply in England
In England, Part G limits the hot water to a new bath to 48 °C at the outlet, usually with a thermostatic mixing valve, but only in a new dwelling or one created by a change of use. It does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing home, though a thermostatic valve is still sensible where children or older people bathe. New wiring for a shower over the bath or new lights is notifiable under Part P.
