Working in Stranraer
We cover every part of Stranraer, including DG9, and nearby Dumfries (57.3 miles) and Locharbriggs (58.8 miles).
Stranraer gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Stranraer houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Stranraer home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Dumfries and Galloway are soft. If that holds for your street in Stranraer, 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
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
Decisions to make first
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.
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
