What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Brentwood?
For Brentwood, our guide range for a bath to shower conversion is £2,100 to £5,300 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for East of England, where prices are typically about 6% above the UK average. 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 Brentwood
As well as Brentwood itself (CM13, CM14 and CM15), we survey in Billericay, Hornchurch and Romford.
Homes in and around Brentwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Brentwood home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Brentwood, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Brentwood 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
