What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Crowborough?
Guide price in Crowborough: £2,200–£5,600 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. Prices in South East England run at about 12% 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
- Bath removed, tray in its place
Walk-in shower
- Concealed valve, rainfall head
Level-access floor
- Grab rails and seat options

Working in Crowborough
As well as Crowborough itself (TN6), we survey in Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield and East Grinstead.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Crowborough: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Crowborough, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. We check the floor under the bath during a Crowborough survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. If your supply in Crowborough 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
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.
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.
