Working in Penicuik
We cover every part of Penicuik, including EH26, and nearby Colinton (5.4 miles) and Bonnyrigg (5.5 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penicuik: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Penicuik 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 you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Penicuik, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of the Lothians is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Penicuik, 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
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.
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.
