Working in York

We work right across York — YO1, YO10, YO24 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Selby and Kippax.

York is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If someone in your York home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If your York 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.

Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in York. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
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

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.

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.

Bath to shower conversions in York: questions

What is the price of a bath to shower conversion in York?

A bath to shower conversion in York usually costs £1,850–£4,600 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in York?

Who handles building control for a bath to shower conversion in York?

Building control for York is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Will removing the bath devalue my house?

It depends on the house. Where there is another bath, or in a flat or smaller home, a good walk-in shower is unlikely to put buyers off. If it would leave a family-sized house with no bath at all, some buyers will want one. A local estate agent can tell you what buyers near you expect; our bath or shower guide covers the trade-offs.
