Working in Paisley
We work right across Paisley — PA1, PA2 and PA3 — and in neighbouring Barrhead and Renfrew.
Across a large town like Paisley, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Survey visits in Paisley cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. Landlords with properties in Paisley can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Supplies across most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
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.
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.
