What does a replacement bath cost in Canary Wharf?
As a guide, budget £1,100 to £3,100 including VAT for a replacement bath in Canary Wharf; your written quote will pin it down. 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 Canary Wharf
As well as Canary Wharf itself (E3, E14 and SE16), we survey in Bow, Canning Town and Greenwich.
London homes in Canary Wharf often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are in Canary Wharf and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. For Canary Wharf homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Supplies across most of Greater London are 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
- 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
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
