Working in Auchterarder

In Auchterarder we cover PH3; we also cover Crieff, 7.3 miles away, and Perth.

Auchterarder gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a walk-in shower in Auchterarder, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. We measure walk-in showers in Auchterarder so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Most of Perth and Kinross is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Auchterarder, 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
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

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.

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.

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 Auchterarder?

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.
