Working in Stranraer

As well as Stranraer itself (DG9), we survey in Dumfries, Locharbriggs and Annan.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stranraer: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Stranraer home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If you are planning a wet room in Stranraer for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across most of Dumfries and Galloway are soft. If that holds for your street in Stranraer, 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

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack

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 Stranraer: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Stranraer?

A wet room in Stranraer usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

How long does a wet room take?

Is the home survey in Stranraer 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 DG9 in Stranraer?

Yes. We cover all of Stranraer, including DG9, and nearby Dumfries, Locharbriggs and Annan. 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.
