What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Felling?
For Felling, our guide range for a bath to shower conversion is £1,800 to £4,500 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for North East England, where prices are typically about 10% below the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Felling
We work right across Felling — NE8, NE9 and NE10 — and in neighbouring Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne.
In Felling, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Felling, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. We check the floor under the bath during a Felling survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Felling, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
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.
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.
