What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Blackheath?
In Blackheath, a bath to shower conversion typically costs £2,500–£6,200 including VAT, based on London prices.

Working in Blackheath
We cover every part of Blackheath, including SE3, SE10 and SE13, and nearby Greenwich (1.2 miles) and Catford (1.8 miles).
London homes in Blackheath often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If someone in your Blackheath home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. For Blackheath houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Blackheath 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
