What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Fareham?
For Fareham, our guide range for a bath to shower conversion is £2,200 to £5,600 including VAT. Prices in South East England run at about 12% 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.
Tray and enclosure

Working in Fareham
We cover every part of Fareham, including PO14, PO15 and PO16, and nearby Gosport (4.5 miles) and Portsmouth (5.3 miles).
Homes in and around Fareham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Fareham houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Fareham home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. If your supply in Fareham 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
