Water in the Lothians
Water across much of the Lothians is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
Rules for bathrooms in Scotland
A like-for-like bathroom refit does not need planning permission. Electrical work in a bathroom must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection and IP-rated fittings near the bath and shower, and new taps, toilets and showers must meet the water fittings rules.
In Scotland, building standards apply rather than Part P. A straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work may. Electrical work is still tested and certified to BS 7671.
