Working in Bonnyrigg

We work right across Bonnyrigg — EH18, EH19 and EH24 — and in neighbouring Musselburgh and Penicuik.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bonnyrigg: free survey, written quote, one team. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Bonnyrigg home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If someone in your Bonnyrigg home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at.

Water across much of the Lothians is soft. If that holds for your street in Bonnyrigg, 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

Decisions to make first

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

Low tray or level floor

A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Bonnyrigg: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Bonnyrigg?

An accessible bathroom in Bonnyrigg usually costs £5,800–£13,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Bonnyrigg 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 EH18 in Bonnyrigg?

Yes. We cover all of Bonnyrigg, including EH18, EH19 and EH24, and nearby Musselburgh, Penicuik and Colinton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bonnyrigg?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
