Working in Bearsden

As well as Bearsden itself (G13, G15 and G61), we survey in Clydebank, Renfrew and Bishopbriggs.

Homes in and around Bearsden vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bearsden bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If your Bearsden shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Water across much of Greater Glasgow is soft. If that holds for your street in Bearsden, 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

Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

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.

Tray length

Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.

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 home survey in Bearsden really free?

Do you cover G13 in Bearsden?

Yes. We cover all of Bearsden, including G13, G15 and G61, and nearby Clydebank, Renfrew and Bishopbriggs. 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.
