Working in Paisley

We work right across Paisley — PA1, PA2 and PA3 — and in neighbouring Barrhead and Renfrew.

Across a large town like Paisley, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For a wet room in a Paisley flat, the first step is the title deeds, because agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed before any work starts. If your Paisley bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Paisley, 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
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
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

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.

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.

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 Paisley: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Paisley?

A wet room in Paisley usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover PA1 in Paisley?

Yes. We cover all of Paisley, including PA1, PA2 and PA3, and nearby Barrhead, Renfrew and Johnstone. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Paisley?

Will a wet room in Paisley 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.
