What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Stratford?
For Stratford, our guide range for a bath to shower conversion is £2,500 to £6,200 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for London, where prices are typically about 25% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Stratford
As well as Stratford itself (E7, E12 and E15), we survey in Bow, Canning Town and Canary Wharf.
In Stratford, 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 Stratford home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Stratford 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 Stratford 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
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.
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.
