Working in Queensferry

As well as Queensferry itself (EH30), we survey in Broxburn, Dunfermline and Currie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Queensferry: free survey, written quote, one team. For a walk-in shower in Queensferry, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If your Queensferry shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Most of Edinburgh is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Queensferry, 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
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

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.

Walk-in showers in Queensferry: questions

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

A walk-in shower in Queensferry usually costs £2,400–£5,800 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover EH30 in Queensferry?

Yes. We cover all of Queensferry, including EH30, and nearby Broxburn, Dunfermline and Currie. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Queensferry?

Will a walk-in shower in Queensferry 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.
