Working in Paisley

We cover every part of Paisley, including PA1, PA2 and PA3, and nearby Barrhead (2.7 miles) and Renfrew (3.2 miles).

Across a large town like Paisley, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We plan shower rooms in Paisley around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. For shower rooms in Paisley, 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 Paisley, 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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Paisley: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Paisley?

A shower room in Paisley 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 PA1 in Paisley?

Yes. We cover all of Paisley, including PA1, PA2 and PA3, and nearby Barrhead, Renfrew and Johnstone. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Paisley?

Will a shower room in Paisley 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.
