Working in Dumbarton

In Dumbarton we cover G82; we also cover Vale of Leven, 1.9 miles away, and Erskine.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dumbarton: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Dumbarton bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. We measure walk-in showers in Dumbarton so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Most of Greater Glasgow is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Dumbarton, 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
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover G82 in Dumbarton?

Yes. We cover all of Dumbarton, including G82, and nearby Vale of Leven, Erskine and Clydebank. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
