Working in Auchterarder

As well as Auchterarder itself (PH3), we survey in Crieff, Perth and Alloa.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Auchterarder: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Auchterarder home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows. Whether your Auchterarder bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Supplies across most of Perth and Kinross are soft. 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

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

Decisions to make first

Floor

Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland there is no Part P. A straight replacement of a family bathroom rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage or forming a bathroom in a different room may. Water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014, and the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

Do you cover PH3 in Auchterarder?

Yes. We cover all of Auchterarder, including PH3, and nearby Crieff, Perth and Alloa. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Auchterarder?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
