Working in Elgin
We cover every part of Elgin, including IV30, and nearby Lossiemouth (5.1 miles) and Forres (11.5 miles).
In Elgin, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your Elgin home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If your Elgin 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.
Supplies across most of Moray are soft. If that holds for your street in Elgin, 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
