Working in Kilwinning

As well as Kilwinning itself (KA13), we survey in Irvine, Kilmarnock and Ayr.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kilwinning: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure walk-in showers in Kilwinning so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Kilwinning bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.

Supplies across most of Ayrshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Kilwinning, 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 low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
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.

Niche

A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.

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 Kilwinning?

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.
