Working in Bonnyrigg

We work right across Bonnyrigg — EH18, EH19 and EH24 — and in neighbouring Musselburgh and Penicuik.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bonnyrigg: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure walk-in showers in Bonnyrigg so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. In a long, narrow Bonnyrigg en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Supplies across most of the Lothians are soft. If that holds for your street in Bonnyrigg, 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

Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover

Decisions to make first

Niche

A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.

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 Bonnyrigg?

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.
