What does a replacement bath cost in Sandhurst?
In Sandhurst, a replacement bath typically costs £1,000–£2,800 including VAT, based on South East England prices.

Working in Sandhurst
We work right across Sandhurst — GU47 — and in neighbouring Crowthorne and Yateley.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Sandhurst: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords with properties in Sandhurst can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. Before a new bath is ordered for a Sandhurst home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Water across much of Berkshire is 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
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
Decisions to make first
Freestanding bath
Acrylic freestanding baths are manageable on most floors; stone resin and cast iron are much heavier when full. You need room to clean round the bath and a plan for where the waste and filler come up.
Shower bath
A P-shaped or L-shaped bath is wider at the shower end, giving room to stand and space for a fixed screen instead of a curtain.
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.
