Guide price in Lossiemouth: £850–£2,400 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. Prices in Scotland run at about 4% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Lossiemouth
We cover every part of Lossiemouth, including IV31, and nearby Elgin (5.1 miles) and Buckie (12.3 miles).
Lossiemouth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Before a new bath is ordered for a Lossiemouth home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. If you are in Lossiemouth and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Water across much of Moray is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
Decisions to make first
Acrylic or steel
Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.
Shower bath
A P-shaped or L-shaped bath is wider at the shower end, giving room to stand and space for a fixed screen instead of a curtain.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new taps, fillers and backflow protection. A replacement bath does not normally need a building warrant, but structural work to the floor for a heavy bath may.
