Covering tub removal, floor preparation, shower base installation, wall surrounds, valve upgrades and waterproofing.

  • Surrounds & Valve Upgrade

    Fit waterproof wall surrounds, install or upgrade thermostatic valve and fit shower head to industry practice.

Why Lincoln Bathroom Fitters

Hidden preparation costs and messy demolitions escalate

Left unchecked, small works become messy and costly; an itemised quote and clear pre-start plan prevents surprise preparation costs and delays.

Common Challenges

  • Demolition leaves dust and waste everywhere

    Removing an existing bath often exposes old fixings and requires waste removal, extending disruption beyond the planned days.

  • Base preparation reveals subfloor issues

    Uneven or rotten joists and poor drainage discovered during base prep add time and unexpected preparation cost.

  • Valve upgrades add to project cost

    Replacing or upgrading shower valves for thermostatic control is commonly needed and can increase materials and labour without early scope.

    Quotes list tub removal, shower base, surrounds, valve works and likely prep so you see costs before works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about tub-to-shower conversions

Clear guidance on cost drivers, kit suitability, compliance and what delays work.

Costs vary with base type, surrounds and valve choice. Expect pricing to rise if subfloor repairs or thermostatic valve replacements are needed. We provide an itemised quote after a survey to show likely costs before work begins.
Delaying can worsen hidden issues such as rotten joists or poor drainage. That leads to longer works and higher preparation costs when the job proceeds. Early survey and planning reduce that risk.
Kits suit some installs, but hidden prep, drainage support and waterproofing often need trade skills. A survey shows if a kit is viable or if a bespoke base and valve upgrade are required.
Planning permission is usually not required. Building Regulations apply for drainage and electrical work. We ensure installations meet required standards and document tests at handover.
Typical installs take several days, depending on removal complexity and drying times for waterproofing. We provide a schedule in the pre-start checklist to limit disruption.
Old valves can leak or fail, reducing lifespan of new surrounds. Not upgrading may require return visits and extra cost. We assess valves during survey and include upgrade options in the quote.
