Working in Johnstone

In Johnstone we cover PA5; we also cover Paisley, 3.2 miles away, and Barrhead.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Johnstone: free survey, written quote, one team. In a compact Johnstone bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Johnstone home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Supplies across most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde are soft. If that holds for your street in Johnstone, 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
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
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

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.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

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 Johnstone: questions

A wet room in Johnstone 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.

Is the home survey in Johnstone really free?

Do you cover PA5 in Johnstone?

Is the water hard in Johnstone?

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.
