Working in Galashiels

As well as Galashiels itself (TD1), we survey in Hawick, Kelso and Peebles.

Galashiels gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your second bathroom in Galashiels is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. We plan shower rooms in Galashiels around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Water across much of the Scottish Borders is soft. If that holds for your street in Galashiels, 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 survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
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
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Storage

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

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.

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 Galashiels: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Galashiels?

A shower room in Galashiels usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Galashiels.

Is the home survey in Galashiels 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 TD1 in Galashiels?

Yes. We cover all of Galashiels, including TD1, and nearby Hawick, Kelso and Peebles. 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.
