Working in Helensburgh
In Helensburgh we cover G84; we also cover Greenock, 4.2 miles away, and Vale of Leven.
Helensburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Helensburgh houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Helensburgh survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Argyll and Bute is soft. If that holds for your street in Helensburgh, 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, a bath to shower swap in the same position rarely needs a building warrant, but a level-access floor that alters drainage or structure may. For adaptation help, councils run a Scheme of Assistance rather than Disabled Facilities Grants.
