Working in Musselburgh

We work right across Musselburgh — EH21 — and in neighbouring Bonnyrigg and Colinton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Musselburgh: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Musselburgh 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 Musselburgh so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

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

A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
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

Decisions to make first

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

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.

Walk-in showers in Musselburgh: questions

How much should I budget for a walk-in shower in Musselburgh?

How long does a walk-in shower take?

Is the home survey in Musselburgh really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover EH21 in Musselburgh?

Yes. We cover all of Musselburgh, including EH21, and nearby Bonnyrigg, Colinton and Penicuik. 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.
