Working in Ayr
We work right across Ayr — KA7, KA8 and KA9 — and in neighbouring Irvine and Kilmarnock.
Homes in and around Ayr vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Ayr bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. In a long, narrow Ayr en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Water across much of Ayrshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Ayr, 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- 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.
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.
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.
