Working in Dundee

As well as Dundee itself (DD1, DD2, DD3 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Carnoustie, St Andrews and Forfar.

In a city the size of Dundee, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Dundee home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If your Dundee bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Water across much of Dundee and Angus is soft. If that holds for your street in Dundee, 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

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Dundee: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Dundee?

A wet room in Dundee 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.

Do you cover DD1 in Dundee?

Yes. We cover all of Dundee, including DD1, DD2, DD3, DD4 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Carnoustie, St Andrews and Forfar. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Dundee?

Will a wet room in Dundee 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.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
