Working in Dunoon
We work right across Dunoon — PA23 — and in neighbouring Greenock and Helensburgh. Because Dunoon is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dunoon: free survey, written quote, one team. For a walk-in shower in Dunoon, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If you are planning ahead in Dunoon for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Most of Argyll and Bute is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Dunoon, 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 thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Decisions to make first
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
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.
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.
