Working in Dunoon
As well as Dunoon itself (PA23), we survey in Greenock, Helensburgh and Vale of Leven. Because Dunoon is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.
Dunoon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Dunoon homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Landlords with properties in Dunoon can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Supplies across most of Argyll and Bute are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
Decisions to make first
Bath panel
Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.
Freestanding bath
Acrylic freestanding baths are manageable on most floors; stone resin and cast iron are much heavier when full. You need room to clean round the bath and a plan for where the waste and filler come up.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new taps, fillers and backflow protection. A replacement bath does not normally need a building warrant, but structural work to the floor for a heavy bath may.
