What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Kempston?
As a guide, budget £2,100 to £5,300 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Kempston; your written quote will pin it down. We adjust the national guide for East of England, where prices are typically about 6% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.
Tray and enclosure
- Bath removed, tray in its place
Walk-in shower
- Concealed valve, rainfall head
Level-access floor
- Grab rails and seat options

Working in Kempston
We cover every part of Kempston, including MK42, and nearby Bedford (1.9 miles) and Ampthill (6.2 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kempston: free survey, written quote, one team. For Kempston houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Kempston home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Most of Bedfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Kempston is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
Decisions to make first
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
Rules that apply in England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
