Working in Kilmarnock
As well as Kilmarnock itself (KA1), we survey in Irvine, Kilwinning and Ayr.
Homes in and around Kilmarnock vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Kilmarnock home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. For Kilmarnock houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Supplies across most of Ayrshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Kilmarnock, 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
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.
