What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Blackpool?
For Blackpool, our guide range for a bath to shower conversion is £1,900 to £4,700 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for North West England, where prices are typically about 6% below the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Blackpool
In Blackpool we cover FY1, FY2, FY3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Poulton-le-Fylde, 3 miles away, and Thornton-Cleveleys.
Blackpool has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Blackpool, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. For Blackpool houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Blackpool, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
