What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Huntingdon?
As a guide, budget £2,100 to £5,300 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Huntingdon; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in East of England run at about 6% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. 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 Huntingdon
In Huntingdon we cover PE29; we also cover St Ives, 4.6 miles away, and St Neots.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Huntingdon: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the floor under the bath during a Huntingdon survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Huntingdon home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. If your supply in Huntingdon 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
