Working in Dunoon

In Dunoon we cover PA23; we also cover Greenock, 6.4 miles away, and Helensburgh. Because Dunoon is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dunoon: free survey, written quote, one team. For a wet room in a Dunoon flat, the first step is the title deeds, because agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed before any work starts. In a compact Dunoon bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Most of Argyll and Bute is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Dunoon, 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

Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a wet room that alters the drainage, involves structural work to the floor or forms a new bathroom may need a building warrant; a straight refit usually does not. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Dunoon: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Dunoon?

A wet room in Dunoon usually costs £5,800–£11,500 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 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 Dunoon.

Is the home survey in Dunoon really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PA23 in Dunoon?

Yes. We cover all of Dunoon, including PA23, and nearby Greenock, Helensburgh and Vale of Leven. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
