What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Caerphilly?
In Caerphilly, a bath to shower conversion typically costs £1,850–£4,600 including VAT, based on Wales prices. Prices in Wales run at about 7% 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 Caerphilly
In Caerphilly we cover CF15 and CF83; we also cover Risca, 5.5 miles away, and Pontypridd.
Homes in and around Caerphilly vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Caerphilly 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. If someone in your Caerphilly home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Caerphilly. 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
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 Wales
In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers more electrical work than in England, and a new electric shower circuit must be notified. Disabled Facilities Grants in Wales can be up to £36,000, approved by the council before work begins.
