What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Nottingham?
In Nottingham, a bath to shower conversion typically costs £1,900–£4,800 including VAT, based on East Midlands prices. 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 Nottingham
As well as Nottingham itself (NG1, NG3, NG5 and 3 more postcode districts), we survey in West Bridgford, Hucknall and Long Eaton.
In a city the size of Nottingham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We check the floor under the bath during a Nottingham survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If the bath in your Nottingham home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Nottingham 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
- 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
