Working in Kilwinning

As well as Kilwinning itself (KA13), we survey in Irvine, Kilmarnock and Ayr.

Kilwinning gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If nobody in your Kilwinning home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. If your second bathroom in Kilwinning is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Water across much of Ayrshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Kilwinning, 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, building standards apply instead of Part P. A refit in the same room rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage may. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Kilwinning: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Kilwinning?

A shower room in Kilwinning usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Kilwinning really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover KA13 in Kilwinning?

Yes. We cover all of Kilwinning, including KA13, and nearby Irvine, Kilmarnock and Ayr. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Kilwinning?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
