Working in Dumbarton
We work right across Dumbarton — G82 — and in neighbouring Vale of Leven and Erskine.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dumbarton: free survey, written quote, one team. If you live in a terrace or semi in Dumbarton with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. If your Dumbarton bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.
Most of Greater Glasgow is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Decisions to make first
Storage
Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.
Keep the bath or go walk-in
A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, building standards apply rather than Part P. A like-for-like refit rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage, for example moving the WC to a new connection, may. Wiring should be tested and certified to BS 7671.
