Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Auchterarder: free survey, written quote, one team. If your second bathroom in Auchterarder is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If you are converting a bathroom in Auchterarder into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Most of Perth and Kinross is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Auchterarder, 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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Auchterarder?

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.
