Working in Rutherglen

As well as Rutherglen itself (G40, G42 and G73), we survey in Cambuslang, Glasgow and East Kilbride.

In Rutherglen, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where a Rutherglen shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. If nobody in your Rutherglen home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Rutherglen, 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
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

Decisions to make first

Storage

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

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.

A shower room in Rutherglen 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.

Is the home survey in Rutherglen 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 G40 in Rutherglen?

Yes. We cover all of Rutherglen, including G40, G42 and G73, and nearby Cambuslang, Glasgow and East Kilbride. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
