Working in Fraserburgh

We work right across Fraserburgh — AB43 — and in neighbouring Peterhead and Inverurie.

Fraserburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a walk-in shower in Fraserburgh, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If your Fraserburgh bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.

Water across much of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Fraserburgh, 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

Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

Decisions to make first

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a straight swap from a bath or enclosure to a walk-in shower does not normally need a building warrant, though altering the drainage may. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

Is the water hard in Fraserburgh?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
