Most people who take the bath out never miss it, and in a small Barking bathroom removing it is the single change that makes the room usable. The job is more than swapping the fitting though: the floor, the waste and the tiling all change with it.
Taking the bath out is common in the smaller Barking bathrooms, where a bath fills most of the floor and a shower gives the room back. It is also one of the quickest bathroom jobs to turn around, because the rest of the room can often stay as it is.
The floor under a bath is rarely in the condition the rest of the room is. It gets sorted before anything goes back down.
A walk-in feels bigger and needs more careful waterproofing; an enclosure is cheaper and contains the water. We will tell you which suits the room.
A shower waste is not where a bath waste was. It gets rerun properly rather than bodged with a long flexible run.
So the temperature does not jump when someone runs a tap downstairs. It is a small cost and a daily difference.
Where a shower replaces a bath for an older relative, the wall is boarded and backed so a grab rail can be fixed securely later, even if it is not wanted yet.
The old advice was to keep one bath in the house. It matters less than it did, but if it is your only bathroom it is worth thinking about. In a second bathroom or an en-suite, take it out without a second thought.
Walk-ins feel far bigger and look better, but they need proper tanking because there is no tray containing the water. In a small room a good enclosure is often the more sensible answer.
Usually, yes - it is a smaller job than a full bathroom. The floor is the unknown: if what is under the old bath needs work, add a couple of days.
Often, yes. If the tiles around the bath are sound, only the bath wall and the floor under it need redoing, although matching old tiles is rarely possible. Many people use the chance to tile that wall as a feature.
Often, because the bath waste is already roughly in the right place. The fall is what matters: a low tray needs enough depth underneath, so the floor is checked before the tray is chosen rather than after.
