What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Haywards Heath?
As a guide, budget £2,200 to £5,600 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Haywards Heath; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in South East England run at about 12% above 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 Haywards Heath
In Haywards Heath we cover RH16; we also cover Burgess Hill, 3 miles away, and Crawley.
Homes in and around Haywards Heath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the floor under the bath during a Haywards Heath survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Haywards Heath home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Haywards Heath 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
Decisions to make first
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
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.
