Working in Coatbridge

We cover every part of Coatbridge, including ML5, and nearby Airdrie (1.7 miles) and Bellshill (3.2 miles).

Homes in and around Coatbridge vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For shower rooms in Coatbridge, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If nobody in your Coatbridge home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Supplies across most of Lanarkshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Coatbridge, 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

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Shower rooms in Coatbridge: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Coatbridge?

A shower room in Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge 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 ML5 in Coatbridge?

Yes. We cover all of Coatbridge, including ML5, and nearby Airdrie, Bellshill and Motherwell. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Coatbridge?

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.
