Working in Ayr

We cover every part of Ayr, including KA7, KA8 and KA9, and nearby Irvine (10.9 miles) and Kilmarnock (11.6 miles).

In Ayr, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a wet room in a Ayr flat, the first step is the title deeds, because agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed before any work starts. If your Ayr home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Supplies across most of Ayrshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Ayr, 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
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

Decisions to make first

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

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 Ayr: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Ayr?

A wet room in Ayr 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 Ayr.

Is the home survey in Ayr 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 KA7 in Ayr?

Yes. We cover all of Ayr, including KA7, KA8 and KA9, and nearby Irvine, Kilmarnock and Kilwinning. 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.
