Many Barking households use the shower far more than the bath. Replacing the bath with a walk-in shower frees up space. It also makes getting in and out much easier. The key details are the waste, the tray height and the walls. A low tray needs a waste with enough fall to drain. The walls where the bath panel was were never meant to be showered on. They need waterproofing before any tiles or panels go on.
In Barking, bath to shower conversions are often requested for older relatives or busy families. The cost depends on the tray size, the walls, any plumbing changes and the screen. Photos of the bath area and the room are enough to price it.

Yes, though the waste route matters more in a flat, where the pipe cannot always run through the floor. We check where it can go before recommending a tray.
The tray size, the walls, any plumbing changes and the screen you choose. Tiling costs more time than wall panels. A flat with a hard waste route can need extra work. Photos of the bath area are enough to price it.
