Working in Ayr
We work right across Ayr — KA7, KA8 and KA9 — and in neighbouring Irvine and Kilmarnock.
In Ayr, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Ayr bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. We survey in Ayr before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.
Most of Ayrshire is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
- First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Decisions to make first
Tiling
Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.
Same layout or new
Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new taps, WCs and showers, whoever bought them. A like-for-like fit rarely needs a building warrant; a new layout that alters drainage may. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.
