Professionaly-done bath-to-shower conversion - roughly how much?

I took the time to make a reply to this post, and help in any way I could. You threw a hissy fit as others have pointed out instead of just replying, 'thanks phil, there's 5m2 of tiling and the room is ? X ?', but no, you had to have a pop at the 'tone' of someone who was trying to help you

OK, I assumed they were white when you said they were plain 6X6, but this is irrelevant.

Scrap metal has value, scrap plastic has none.

You should consider consulting your relatives Local Authority. They should have someone (or be able to recommend someone) who can assess needs and suggest the best possible solution(s), and possibly installers. There may also be grants available to help

As long as it physically goes out the door etc, then its usually possible to carry a cast iron bath out with two people.

For clarification, I read the brief as "add enough tiles to do a shower enclosure - perhaps extending from an existing splash-back" - so probably under 3m^2, and for floor, adding some similar vinyl to patch where the bath had been - so bath sized or perhaps relaying half a room etc.

Possibly not cheaper, but the finish will certainly be better.

I love my wet room. The easiest thing to keep clean, the entire room gets washed down at least once a day.

You can combine that approach with the wet-room idea. The screen prevents the whole room being drenched, while draining the whole floor means a less confined shower area.

Nope, cheaper too if it were mine because i would rip everything out, clad the walls with plastic, tile the floor and make it a wet room.

PVC = £200 Floor tiles = £200 Plumbing and bits = £200

I wouldn't be paying for labour though, but even if I were, I can't see that it would come to a grand...total = £1600

They (my relatives) are about to do exactly that. Thanks for the thought.

Would the floor not need reshaping, and possibly tanking as well for a wet room?

put a cubicle around the bog, shower on the wall behind the bog, and a mirror mounted in front of the toilet,

then they can s*it, shower and shave at the same time, saving no end of time each morning :)

Analyse what is recommended - my last girl friend had her bathroom modded via her LA and most of it is in the wrong place and in some cases unuseable. She isn't capable of supervising the work.

That's sound advice; thanks.

This is getting more Wallace and Gromit every moment!

All you need now is some waterproof loo roll!

Ah - "Post Office" issue, circa 1980.

'Bronco'?!?

Pah, easy one. About thirty quid to you, squire.

The Shitower has been noted and approved already.

integrate the bog and the shower, so you can crouch and get the business done in a totally natural 'childbirth way' and then get blasted with nozzles from every direction to clean up the mess afterwards.
