Working in Hawick

As well as Hawick itself (TD9), we survey in Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles.

Hawick gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning ahead in Hawick for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. For a walk-in shower in Hawick, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

Most of the Scottish Borders is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Hawick, 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

Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Hawick: questions

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

A walk-in shower in Hawick usually costs £2,400–£5,800 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover TD9 in Hawick?

Yes. We cover all of Hawick, including TD9, and nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hawick?

Will a walk-in shower in Hawick 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.
