Working in Kilwinning

As well as Kilwinning itself (KA13), we survey in Irvine, Kilmarnock and Ayr.

Kilwinning gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In a compact Kilwinning bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If you are planning a wet room in Kilwinning for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Most of Ayrshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Kilwinning, 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 frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

Decisions to make first

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.

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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.

Is the water hard in Kilwinning?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
