Working in Perth

As well as Perth itself (PH1 and PH2), we survey in Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff.

Perth is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Perth shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. We measure walk-in showers in Perth so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Supplies across most of Perth and Kinross are soft. If that holds for your street in Perth, 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover

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.

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

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 Perth: questions

What is the price of a walk-in shower in Perth?

A walk-in shower in Perth usually costs £2,400–£5,800 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover PH1 and PH2 in Perth?

Yes. We cover all of Perth, including PH1 and PH2, and nearby Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Perth?

Will a walk-in shower in Perth need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

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.
