Bath To Shower

[jennyjoan]

I have to now think seriously of taking bath out and putting in a walk in shower. Anybody know roughly how much it would cost.

[Zacs-Master]

£500

[jennyjoan]

thanks zacs - friend paid £2,000 for that - but to me she was ripped off - shower is terrible looking.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, bejaazus she was ripped off an-all an-all. T b sure.

have a shower put into the bath

also you might think of getting your GP to refer you to an health assessment - I have a pole in my bathroom which is very useful for grappling and getting into and out of the bath ( when I shower )
also they may put in handle bars each side of the bog
( free of course )

Get a few estimates before making any commitment Jenny.

You could have a walk in bath, jj.

Ok ok £475 and that's my final,offer!

[jennyjoan]

Peter - that is what I have at the mo - shower over the bath which is pretty good - a power shower. But friends and cousin are worried about me lifting the oul leg over the bath etc and falling of course.

Will of course get some estimates.

Until you get sorted you could invest in a Bath Board, then you aren't climbing but just gently swinging your legs over.

I'm sure there'll be a supplier in your area.

[Mamyalynne]

Until your breaks heal don't be attempting to climb if there's no one nearby please.

jeepers creepers mamy - gotta shower every day - i have put on grab handles which i bought from amazon last week funnily enough and they are pretty good

[jennyjoan]

[tonyav]

I could always come and wash you down with a hosepipe, jj ;-)

£500 sounds very low.

Taking account of the possible need to retile/floor given you are removing a bath the cost would be considerably somewhat more.

[jennyjoan]

i watched a home show by linda barker - yesterday - and a lady converted - and it looked lovely - she did put in a new sink, toilet etc - worked out £3,500 - no i would go about £1,500 but that would be it.

[emmie]

it cost me 2,000 for the whole works, including a pump because the water pressure wasn't high enough.

[EcclesCake]

Isn't your nephew a plumber? Get him round to give you a quote or at the very least guide you.

[emmie]

if you are in London i could give you the name of the builders, they did a good job.
