Without seein the job mate its hard to say,but asuming theres room for the bath it should pretty much be a straight swap and should be able to use the cold feed and waste that is already in place from the shower. Also assuming theres a sink nearby then that could supply the hot feed for the bath!

If all goes to plan then should only be charged a days labour, which depending on company should be around the £200 mark!

With how good push fit fittings and plastic pipe are, there is no reason that if you know one end of a spanner from the other you shouldn't do this yourself. It's 3 pipes FFS. Probably even find both feeds for the taps are under the shower tray capped off
