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

Working in Morden
In Morden we cover SM4, SW19 and SW20; we also cover Mitcham, 1.3 miles away, and Wimbledon.
In Morden, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We check the floor under the bath during a Morden survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Morden home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Morden 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- 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
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.
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.
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.
