how much to have my bath rotated 180 degrees?

hthr_2

I am wondering if anyone has had a bath turned around and how much this should cost (before I get a quote). currently the taps are at the open end of the bath so I can't have a shower installed above the taps. I want the taps at the wall end. It is an enamel bath.

Many thanks

to turn the bath around, will be approx 200 quid, not including any remedial work on the walls/tiles/decor etc.

do you know, will it affect the water pressure much? a plumber I had out said that as the taps are currently nearer to the boiler that moving it could make the pressure lower (as would have to extend pipes under bath)
Thanks again

sorry, just another question if anyone knows, I originally just thought I could get the plumber to run pipes from the taps under the bath and put a shower up at the other end of the bath (without moving the bath around). He said it would be too difficult probably to drill through an enamel bath in order to bring a pipe up at the other end - is this true? He is not a v experienced plumber so i am not sure if another plumber would do this on problem.
Thanks

youre very unlikely to notice any difference over that distance.

It might be better to change the bath and had a wall mounted mixer tap fitted if you have any spare tiles that is .....
