Working in Johnstone

We cover every part of Johnstone, including PA5, and nearby Paisley (3.2 miles) and Barrhead (5.2 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Johnstone: free survey, written quote, one team. We plan shower rooms in Johnstone around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. For shower rooms in Johnstone, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Water across much of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde is soft. If that holds for your street in Johnstone, 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

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Johnstone: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Johnstone?

A shower room in Johnstone usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Johnstone 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 PA5 in Johnstone?

Yes. We cover all of Johnstone, including PA5, and nearby Paisley, Barrhead and Erskine. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Johnstone?

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.
