Working in Arbroath

We work right across Arbroath — DD11 — and in neighbouring Carnoustie and Forfar.

Arbroath gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a walk-in shower in Arbroath, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If your Arbroath 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 Dundee and Angus is soft. If that holds for your street in Arbroath, 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
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
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Walk-in showers in Arbroath: questions

How much does a walk-in shower cost in Arbroath?

A walk-in shower in Arbroath usually costs £2,400–£5,800 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Arbroath 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 DD11 in Arbroath?

Yes. We cover all of Arbroath, including DD11, and nearby Carnoustie, Forfar and Dundee. 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.
