Working in Rutherglen

In Rutherglen we cover G40, G42 and G73; we also cover Cambuslang, 2.4 miles away, and Glasgow.

In Rutherglen, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Rutherglen home to go with the application. For Rutherglen homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.

Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Rutherglen, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

Walk-in bath

A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Rutherglen: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Rutherglen?

Is the home survey in Rutherglen really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover G40 in Rutherglen?

Yes. We cover all of Rutherglen, including G40, G42 and G73, and nearby Cambuslang, Glasgow and East Kilbride. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
