As a guide, budget £1,900 to £4,800 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Kirkcaldy; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in Scotland run at about 4% below 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 Kirkcaldy
In Kirkcaldy we cover KY1 and KY2; we also cover Glenrothes, 5.4 miles away, and Dunfermline.
Homes in and around Kirkcaldy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the floor under the bath during a Kirkcaldy survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Kirkcaldy, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Water across much of Fife is soft. If that holds for your street in Kirkcaldy, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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 Scotland
In Scotland, a bath to shower swap in the same position rarely needs a building warrant, but a level-access floor that alters drainage or structure may. For adaptation help, councils run a Scheme of Assistance rather than Disabled Facilities Grants.
