Prices in Yorkshire and the Humber run at about 7% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates.

Working in Brighouse
We cover every part of Brighouse, including HD2, HD6 and HX5, and nearby Elland (2.6 miles) and Halifax (2.8 miles).
In Brighouse, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Brighouse houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If your Brighouse 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.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Brighouse, 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
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.
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.
