Working in Glasgow
As well as Glasgow itself (G1, G2, G3 and 25 more postcode districts), we survey in Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs and Bearsden.
In a city the size of Glasgow, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Before a new bath is ordered for a Glasgow home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. Survey visits in Glasgow cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow 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
- 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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
Decisions to make first
Taps or filler
Deck taps on the rim are the simplest swap. Wall-mounted taps or a bath filler look cleaner but mean opening the wall, and an overflow filler hides the spout altogether.
Shower bath
A P-shaped or L-shaped bath is wider at the shower end, giving room to stand and space for a fixed screen instead of a curtain.
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.
