What does a replacement bath cost in Nottingham?
As a guide, budget £850 to £2,400 including VAT for a replacement bath in Nottingham; your written quote will pin it down. We adjust the national guide for East Midlands, where prices are typically about 4% below the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Nottingham
As well as Nottingham itself (NG1, NG3, NG5 and 3 more postcode districts), we survey in West Bridgford, Hucknall and Long Eaton.
Nottingham is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are in Nottingham and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Landlords with properties in Nottingham can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Water across much of Nottinghamshire 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
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
