Guide price in Shoreham-by-Sea: £2,200–£5,600 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. 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 Shoreham-by-Sea
In Shoreham-by-Sea we cover BN42 and BN43; we also cover Lancing, 2.1 miles away, and Portslade.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Shoreham-by-Sea: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Shoreham-by-Sea home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. We check the floor under the bath during a Shoreham-by-Sea survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Shoreham-by-Sea 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 thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
