Working in Kilwinning

In Kilwinning we cover KA13; we also cover Irvine, 3.1 miles away, and Kilmarnock.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kilwinning: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords in Kilwinning can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Kilwinning water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

Most of Ayrshire is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

Decisions to make first

Width

Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.

Waste and overflow

A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.
