What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Slough?
Guide price in Slough: £2,200–£5,600 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. Labour costs in South East England put local prices at about 12% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.
Tray and enclosure
- Glass enclosure or walk-in panel
Walk-in shower
- Full-height tiling
Level-access floor
- Floor former and tanking

Working in Slough
As well as Slough itself (SL1, SL2 and SL3), we survey in Windsor, Maidenhead and Gerrards Cross.
Slough has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Slough, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. We check the floor under the bath during a Slough survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Berkshire has hard water. If your supply in Slough 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
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
Decisions to make first
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
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.
