What does a replacement bath cost in Beckenham?
Our guide price for a replacement bath in Beckenham is £1,100–£3,100 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for London, where prices are typically about 25% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Beckenham
We work right across Beckenham — BR3, SE20 and SE26 — and in neighbouring Catford and Croydon.
In Beckenham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Landlords with properties in Beckenham can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. Before a new bath is ordered for a Beckenham home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Water across much of Greater London is very 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
- 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
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
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.
