Working in Hamilton
In Hamilton we cover ML3; we also cover Motherwell, 2.2 miles away, and Blantyre.
Homes in and around Hamilton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Hamilton home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Hamilton survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Hamilton, 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
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.
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.
