What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Peterborough?
Our guide price for a bath to shower conversion in Peterborough is £2,100–£5,300 including VAT. 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.

Working in Peterborough
We work right across Peterborough — PE1, PE2, PE3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Stamford and March.
Peterborough is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If someone in your Peterborough home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Peterborough, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are very hard. If your supply in Peterborough 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
