What does a replacement bath cost in Chichester?
In Chichester, a replacement bath typically costs £1,000–£2,800 including VAT, based on South East England prices. We adjust the national guide for South East England, where prices are typically about 12% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Chichester
We work right across Chichester — PO19 — and in neighbouring Bognor Regis and Emsworth.
Homes in and around Chichester vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Chichester home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. Landlords with properties in Chichester can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Most of West Sussex has 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
- 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
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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.
Taps or filler
Deck taps on the rim are the simplest swap. Wall-mounted taps or a bath filler look cleaner but mean opening the wall, and an overflow filler hides the spout altogether.
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.
