Working in Carnoustie

As well as Carnoustie itself (DD7), we survey in Arbroath, Dundee and St Andrews.

Carnoustie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure walk-in showers in Carnoustie so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. In a long, narrow Carnoustie en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Water across much of Dundee and Angus is soft. If that holds for your street in Carnoustie, 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
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system

Decisions to make first

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

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 Carnoustie?

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.
