Bath to Shower Conversion in Leighton Buzzard
Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower is one of the most popular bathroom upgrades we carry out. It frees up space, makes the room safer and easier to use, and gives the whole bathroom a fresh look. Venus handles the removal, plumbing, waterproofing, tiling and finishing.
What a conversion involves
We remove the bath, make good the walls and floor, move or adapt plumbing where needed, install a shower tray or wet-room floor, tile and fit a screen. Most conversions are completed in a matter of days rather than weeks, and we tell you the timeline in advance.
If you would like to keep a bath elsewhere in the home, we can help plan that too.
Things to think about first
Resale: if the bath is your only one, think about whether you want to keep one in the home. Pressure and hot water: your shower choice depends on your boiler and water system, which we can advise on as heating specialists. Access: if the shower is for ease of use, see our accessible bathrooms page.
Cost
The price depends on the shower type, the amount of tiling and any plumbing changes. We give a fixed, itemised quote after a survey, and you can get a rough guide from the cost calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bath to shower conversion take?
Many are completed in a few days, though larger tiling jobs take longer. We confirm the programme when quoting.
Can the new shower be level access?
Yes, with a wet-room style floor or a low-profile tray, depending on your floor construction.
Will my existing tiles match?
Usually we re-tile the shower area and blend or replace surrounding tiles for a clean finish. We will talk through the options at survey.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrics?
We handle plumbing in-house. Electrical work such as shower isolators or lighting is arranged through Venus Electrical.
