Working in Larkhall
We work right across Larkhall — ML9 — and in neighbouring Wishaw and Hamilton.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Larkhall: free survey, written quote, one team. For a walk-in shower in Larkhall, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If your Larkhall bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Larkhall, 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
- 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
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
