Which towns do we cover in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde?
Supplies across most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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. If your Paisley home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use.
What the job includes
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Decisions to make first
Wall and floor finish
Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.
Brassware finish
Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.
Freestanding bath material
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.
Heating
Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Internal bathroom work does not need planning permission, but a listed building needs listed building consent for alterations affecting its character, including new soil or vent pipes through walls. Heavy baths and stone floors add load to the floor structure, which should be checked first. Electrics must meet BS 7671, including the IP ratings in each zone and 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit.
In Scotland, structural work such as strengthening a floor, or altering the drainage, may need a building warrant. An unvented cylinder should be fitted by an installer qualified for unvented systems, and the electrics tested and certified to BS 7671.
