Working in Motherwell
We work right across Motherwell — ML1 and ML4 — and in neighbouring Bellshill and Hamilton.
In Motherwell, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Motherwell bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old. If someone in your Motherwell home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Motherwell, 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
