Working in East Kilbride

We work right across East Kilbride — G74 — and in neighbouring Cambuslang and Blantyre.

Across a large town like East Kilbride, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. 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. If nobody in your East Kilbride 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 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.

What the job includes

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

Decisions to make first

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.

Storage

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

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 East Kilbride: questions

What is the price of a shower room in East Kilbride?

A shower room in East Kilbride 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.

Do you cover G74 in East Kilbride?

Yes. We cover all of East Kilbride, including G74, and nearby Cambuslang, Blantyre and Rutherglen. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in East Kilbride?

Will a shower room in East Kilbride 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.
