What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Caterham?

Labour costs in South East England put local prices at about 12% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Caterham
We cover every part of Caterham, including CR3, CR6 and RH9, and nearby Coulsdon (3.7 miles) and Purley (4 miles).
Caterham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Caterham houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If your Caterham 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 Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Caterham 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- 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
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.
