Working in Clydebank

As well as Clydebank itself (G60 and G81), we survey in Erskine, Renfrew and Bearsden.

In Clydebank, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure walk-in showers in Clydebank so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. In a long, narrow Clydebank en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

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

Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Clydebank?

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.
