What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Stevenage?
As a guide, budget £2,100 to £5,300 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Stevenage; your written quote will pin it down. Labour costs in East of England put local prices at about 6% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Stevenage
We work right across Stevenage — SG1 and SG2 — and in neighbouring Hitchin and Letchworth Garden City.
Across a large town like Stevenage, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Stevenage 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 Stevenage home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of Hertfordshire is very hard. If your supply in Stevenage 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
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.
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.
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.
