Replacing bath with shower

Thanks for the information. It will come in useful. The removal company are packing up the house as I type. Sitting in the garden and keeping out of the way!

Don't use a big brand company. My decorator put in touch with a father and son team who do home improvements. They did my kitchen, shower room , new inter doors etc.

He told me where to get the tiles shower etc from it was a trade place he let me have his discount. I saved over £3,000. Also if you are having the bathroom made into a shower room for health reasons you can claim the VAT back on fittings not tiles or workman ship. It has to be fitted by tradesman to get it back I had £550 .

Ask around for recommendations from anyone local who has it done. Also make sure they do everything, plumbing,electrics,tiling etc.

My friend didn't do that and had to organise electrician,plumber ,plasterer and tiler herself. Cost a fortune.

After scouring the showrooms for ideas, ask your plumber for a quote. Ours did everything including the tiling for about £6k. It seemed expensive but it was done in less than a week and he did a great job. He had plasterer and electrician contacts so coordinated all that for us too and arranged for all the building waste to be collected.

2020 similar job as you describe

My mother-in-law had this done 2 years ago. She is fully tiled and had new everything. It was about £4,000 I believe.
A local builder organised it all and gave her only a few (but nice) choices.

I think if she'd said I want to do it for £x he would have done it.

We did this about 3 years ago. Total revamp of bathroom, removed bath, replaced it with large shower. The whole room is tiled.
From memory it was about 7/8 thousand.
Well worth it to us.
