What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Borehamwood?
Guide price in Borehamwood: £2,100–£5,300 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. We adjust the national guide for East of England, where prices are typically about 6% above the UK average. 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 Borehamwood
We cover every part of Borehamwood, including WD6, and nearby Barnet (3.3 miles) and Bushey (3.6 miles).
Homes in and around Borehamwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Borehamwood, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. We check the floor under the bath during a Borehamwood survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Borehamwood 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
