In Dundee we cover DD1, DD2, DD3 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Carnoustie, 10.5 miles away, and St Andrews.

In a city the size of Dundee, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We measure walk-in showers in Dundee so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If you are planning ahead in Dundee for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Supplies across most of Dundee and Angus are soft. If that holds for your street in Dundee, 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

Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

Decisions to make first

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

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.

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 Dundee: questions

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

A walk-in shower in Dundee usually costs £2,400–£5,800 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover DD1 in Dundee?

Yes. We cover all of Dundee, including DD1, DD2, DD3, DD4 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Carnoustie, St Andrews and Forfar. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Dundee?

Will a walk-in shower in Dundee need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
