You are going to have to retile unless the bath somehow ends up exactly the same height/position. Any compromise or making it look ok-ish will look obvious.
Minimum of 6.5k. More if the tiles come off and the wall is a mess.
You will need plumbing, bath panel, shower screen, taps, tile trim and personally if having this done I would update the sink and surround to something a bit more modern.

Complete pie in the sky question from someone with zero experience of such things.
Looking at maybe having our bathroom refreshed a bit.
7yr old new build flat, bathroom approx 3.5x3m with shower over bath.
All we really want is for the bath to be replaced with something a bit bigger as it’s weirdly shallow and short given the space.
It’s reached the point that we need a plumber anyway to deal with the low pressure(crappy communal building hot water) and toilet that is always trickling cos of dodgy seals.
So yeah, would like to think it wouldn’t need to be gutted completely but rough idea for someone to supply/fit a better bath/shower screen and make good on the other bits that just need refreshing?
Oh, we’re in E17 if that makes a difference/recommendations.
Fully understand it’s probably got potentially to snowball and not as simple as just buy/fit bath..
