What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Heywood?
Our guide price for a bath to shower conversion in Heywood is £1,900–£4,700 including VAT. Prices in North West England run at about 6% below 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
- Bath removed, tray in its place
Walk-in shower
- Concealed valve, rainfall head
Level-access floor
- Grab rails and seat options

Working in Heywood
We cover every part of Heywood, including OL10, and nearby Middleton (3 miles) and Rochdale (3.2 miles).
Homes in and around Heywood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Heywood home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If your Heywood 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.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Heywood, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
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.
