Working in Stirling

We cover every part of Stirling, including FK7, FK8, FK9 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Alloa (5.7 miles) and Falkirk (10 miles).

In Stirling, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your second bathroom in Stirling is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. We plan shower rooms in Stirling around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Supplies across most of the Forth Valley are soft. If that holds for your street in Stirling, 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 basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
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

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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.

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 Stirling: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Stirling?

A shower room in Stirling usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover FK7 in Stirling?

Yes. We cover all of Stirling, including FK7, FK8, FK9 and FK15, and nearby Alloa, Falkirk and Grangemouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Stirling?

Will a shower room in Stirling need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
