What does a bath to shower conversion cost in St Ives?
In St Ives, 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.

Working in St Ives
We work right across St Ives — PE27 — and in neighbouring Huntingdon and St Neots.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in St Ives: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the floor under the bath during a St Ives survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If the bath in your St Ives home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of Cambridgeshire is very hard. If your supply in St Ives 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
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.
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.
