What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Northolt?
As a guide, budget £2,500 to £6,200 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Northolt; 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.

Walk-in shower
- Full-height tiling
Level-access floor
- Floor former and tanking

Working in Northolt
In Northolt we cover HA2, UB5 and UB6; we also cover Greenford, 1.5 miles away, and Harrow.
In Northolt, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Northolt bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old. We check the floor under the bath during a Northolt survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Northolt 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
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.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
