Any rough estimates on how much it costs to run a bath using gas.

    15p to 40p depending on depth (with a combi-boiler).

    Install a shower, put the plug in and see how little water (and fuel) that uses, it's a revelation! I haven't had a bath for 30 years as my few friends can testify.:j

    I rarely take showers and when I have done in the past I've put the plug in the bath to see exactly how much water I've used. To get a decent hot shower and to feel completely refreshed I've always ended up using the same amount of water as I use in baths (about 6" deep)
