What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Hinckley?
Our guide price for a bath to shower conversion in Hinckley is £1,900–£4,800 including VAT. Labour costs in East Midlands put local prices at about 4% below the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Hinckley
We work right across Hinckley — LE9 and LE10 — and in neighbouring Earl Shilton and Nuneaton.
Homes in and around Hinckley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Hinckley houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Hinckley home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Leicestershire are hard. If your supply in Hinckley 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
- 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
