What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Lewes?
For Lewes, our guide range for a bath to shower conversion is £2,200 to £5,600 including VAT. 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
- Glass enclosure or walk-in panel
Walk-in shower
- Full-height tiling
Level-access floor
- Floor former and tanking

Working in Lewes
We cover every part of Lewes, including BN7, and nearby Rottingdean (5.3 miles) and Peacehaven (5.7 miles).
Lewes gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Lewes, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If your Lewes 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.
Water across much of East Sussex is hard. If your supply in Lewes 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
Decisions to make first
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
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.
