What does a replacement bath cost in Ruislip?
Our guide price for a replacement bath in Ruislip is £1,100–£3,100 including VAT. Labour costs in London put local prices at about 25% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Ruislip
We cover every part of Ruislip, including HA4, HA5 and UB10, and nearby Northolt (2.9 miles) and Uxbridge (3 miles).
In Ruislip, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For Ruislip homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Before a new bath is ordered for a Ruislip home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
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.
