Working in Peebles

We work right across Peebles — EH45 — and in neighbouring Penicuik and Galashiels.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peebles: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning ahead in Peebles for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. If your Peebles bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.

Supplies across most of the Scottish Borders are soft. If that holds for your street in Peebles, 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
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

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.

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.

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 Peebles: questions

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

A walk-in shower in Peebles usually costs £2,400–£5,800 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Peebles?

Will a walk-in shower in Peebles 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 long does a walk-in shower take?

Allow 2–5 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Peebles.

Can a walk-in shower replace a bath?

Yes. A standard bath is about 1700 by 700 mm, so a 1700 mm tray fits the same space and can often use the existing waste position. It is one of the simplest ways to get a walk-in shower; our bath to shower conversions page covers that job in detail.
