Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Grangemouth: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Grangemouth shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. If you are planning ahead in Grangemouth for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Supplies across most of the Forth Valley are soft. If that holds for your street in Grangemouth, 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 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
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover

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.

Is the water hard in Grangemouth?

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.
