Which towns do we cover in Lanarkshire?

Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in East Kilbride, 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. If you are converting a bathroom in East Kilbride into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

What the job includes

A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
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.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

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

Turning a bathroom into a shower room does not need planning permission. The electrics must meet BS 7671: 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit, at least IPX4 fittings in zone 1 above the tray up to 2.25 m, or IPX5 where water jets are used, and no ordinary sockets within 3 m of zone 1. A shower pump can only be used on a gravity system with a cold tank, never connected directly to the mains.

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 Lanarkshire?

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.
