Working in Perth

In Perth we cover PH1 and PH2; we also cover Auchterarder, 12.6 miles away, and Blairgowrie and Rattray.

Perth is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For shower rooms in Perth, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. Where a Perth shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Most of Perth and Kinross is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Perth, 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 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

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 Perth: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Perth?

A shower room in Perth 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 PH1 and PH2 in Perth?

Yes. We cover all of Perth, including PH1 and PH2, and nearby Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Perth?

Will a shower room in Perth 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.
