Hello World! Welcome Friends! There are different types of baths, each having its own installation cost. The bath installation cost depends upon the price of the individual bath. Steel baths, Whirlpool baths, and freestanding baths are comparatively more expensive than shower baths and other baths.
Apart from that, you must keep in mind the labor costs, location, cost of materials, brand of the bathtub, warranty, and whether you are installing a new bath or renovating your old one. The cost of all these factors differs widely across the city, but the final cost will vary between £110-£210 to install a bathtub.
In addition to these costs, you have the cost of installing bathroom showers, taps, etc., which will increase the overall cost to around £400 to £2600. Let’s look at the cost of installing the different types of baths available in the market.
Shower Baths
A shower bath has many benefits, especially that it saves a lot of space. This is of great benefit if your bathroom is small. Victoria plum offers shower baths that are a perfect fit for your small bathroom. Shower baths are very popular because of their easy installation and space-saving feature. They cost around £190-£2280. The cost depends on factors such as the brand, material, and warranty.
You must not forget the labor costs, which differ greatly across the country. However, labor costs on average range between £100-£210. Apart from this, you should also keep in mind other costs that will add up to approximately £400 to nearly £2700.
Steel Baths
Are you looking to install a bathtub that is highly durable, conserves heat for a long period of time, and is stain-resistant? Then steel baths are the solution. Steel baths are covered by a layer that makes them stain and scratch-resistant. However, because steel baths are very heavy, they require the supervision of a professional during their installation. Installing a steel bath costs between £300-£3300. These figures may increase after adding the additional costs such as labor and materials cost.
Whirlpool Baths
Installing a whirlpool bath is the toughest job. It requires experienced professionals and electricians. You cannot and should not do it on your own. It will take more than a day to be installed and will cost around £200-£1000.
Freestanding Baths
Freestanding baths are the main attraction in your bathroom. This is why it is very important that you spend time deciding the perfect place to install it. If your bathroom floor is flat, then the installation will be easy and done in no time. If not, then it might take a while and extra money. Installing a freestanding bath will cost you around £389-£4400. Also, remember to make sure that your bathroom floor is capable of withstanding the weight of the tub along with the water.
Corner Baths
Corner baths come in a wide variety of designs that you can choose from according to your needs and requirements. Getting a corner bath installed isn’t an easy task, especially if you have a small bathroom. Getting the bathtub into the bathroom can be a difficult task. The installation cost of installing a corner bath ranges between £200-£1000.
In a Nutshell
It’s easy to get an estimate of the installation costs, but the costs always vary at the end. The bath type and other factors such as materials, labor costs, and location will definitely affect the overall cost and should always be kept in mind. The more complex the bath, the more difficult it is to install, and thus the more the cost will be.
