Working in Bearsden

In Bearsden we cover G13, G15 and G61; we also cover Clydebank, 3 miles away, and Renfrew.

Homes in and around Bearsden vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a compact Bearsden bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Bearsden home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Water across much of Greater Glasgow is soft. If that holds for your street in Bearsden, 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 survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Bearsden: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Bearsden?

A wet room in Bearsden 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.

Is the home survey in Bearsden 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 G13 in Bearsden?

Yes. We cover all of Bearsden, including G13, G15 and G61, and nearby Clydebank, Renfrew and Bishopbriggs. 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.
