What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Kettering?
As a guide, budget £1,900 to £4,800 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Kettering; your written quote will pin it down.

The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Kettering
We work right across Kettering — NN15 and NN16 — and in neighbouring Wellingborough and Corby.
In Kettering, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Kettering 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 you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Kettering, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Supplies across most of Northamptonshire are hard. If your supply in Kettering 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
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.
