Working in Peterhead

In Peterhead we cover AB42; we also cover Fraserburgh, 15.3 miles away, and Inverurie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peterhead: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure walk-in showers in Peterhead so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Peterhead shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Peterhead, 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 or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system

Decisions to make first

Tray length

Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.

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.

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.

Walk-in showers in Peterhead: questions

How much should I budget for a walk-in shower in Peterhead?

A walk-in shower in Peterhead usually costs £2,400–£5,800 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does a walk-in shower take?

Is the home survey in Peterhead 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 AB42 in Peterhead?

Yes. We cover all of Peterhead, including AB42, and nearby Fraserburgh, Inverurie and Aberdeen. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
