Working in Paisley

As well as Paisley itself (PA1, PA2 and PA3), we survey in Barrhead, Renfrew and Johnstone.

Paisley has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For a walk-in shower in Paisley, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. We measure walk-in showers in Paisley so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Water across much of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde is soft. If that holds for your street in Paisley, 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
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
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

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.

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.

Walk-in showers in Paisley: questions

How much does a walk-in shower cost in Paisley?

A walk-in shower in Paisley 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 PA1 in Paisley?

Yes. We cover all of Paisley, including PA1, PA2 and PA3, and nearby Barrhead, Renfrew and Johnstone. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Paisley?

Will a walk-in shower in Paisley 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.
