As a guide, budget £1,850 to £4,600 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Thorne; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in Yorkshire and the Humber run at about 7% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Thorne
In Thorne we cover DN8; we also cover Goole, 7.3 miles away, and Doncaster.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Thorne: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Thorne home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Thorne survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Supplies across most of South Yorkshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Thorne. 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
- 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
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.
