The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Berkhamsted
We work right across Berkhamsted — HP4 — and in neighbouring Chesham and Hemel Hempstead.
Berkhamsted gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Berkhamsted, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If someone in your Berkhamsted home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Berkhamsted 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- 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
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
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.
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.
