Working in Barrhead

We cover every part of Barrhead, including G53, G78 and PA2, and nearby Paisley (2.7 miles) and Newton Mearns (2.9 miles).

Barrhead gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We plan shower rooms in Barrhead around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. For shower rooms in Barrhead, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Water across much of Greater Glasgow is soft. If that holds for your street in Barrhead, 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 survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

Decisions to make first

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

Is the water hard in Barrhead?

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.
