What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Dagenham?
As a guide, budget £2,500 to £6,200 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Dagenham; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in London run at about 25% 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 Dagenham
We cover every part of Dagenham, including RM8, RM9 and RM10, and nearby Becontree (1.6 miles) and Romford (1.9 miles).
In Dagenham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If the bath in your Dagenham 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 Dagenham, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Dagenham 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 thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
