What does a bath to shower conversion cost in March?
In March, a bath to shower conversion typically costs £2,100–£5,300 including VAT, based on East of England prices. 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
- Thermostatic shower, re-tiling
Walk-in shower
- Large tray and frameless screen

Working in March
We cover every part of March, including PE15, and nearby Wisbech (8.5 miles) and Ely (12.8 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in March: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the floor under the bath during a March survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If your March bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old.
Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. If your supply in March 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 thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
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.
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.
