Working in Bathgate
As well as Bathgate itself (EH48), we survey in Livingston, Broxburn and Grangemouth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bathgate: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Bathgate, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If the bath in your Bathgate home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of the Lothians is soft. If that holds for your street in Bathgate, 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
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.
