What does a replacement bath cost in Emsworth?
Our guide price for a replacement bath in Emsworth is £1,000–£2,800 including VAT. 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 Emsworth
In Emsworth we cover PO9 and PO10; we also cover Havant, 2.2 miles away, and South Hayling.
Emsworth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are in Emsworth and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Before a new bath is ordered for a Emsworth home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Supplies across most of West Sussex are 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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
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.
