What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Esher?
As a guide, budget £2,200 to £5,600 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Esher; 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 Esher
As well as Esher itself (KT7 and KT10), we survey in East Molesey, West Molesey and Walton-on-Thames.
In Esher, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your Esher 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 Esher survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Esher 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
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.
