What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Stockport?
For Stockport, our guide range for a bath to shower conversion is £1,900 to £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.

Working in Stockport
As well as Stockport itself (SK1, SK2, SK3 and 4 more postcode districts), we survey in Bredbury, Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme.
Across a large town like Stockport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Stockport, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If someone in your Stockport home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Stockport, 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
