What does a new bathroom design cost in Balerno?

Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Balerno, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. 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 Balerno

We cover every part of Balerno, including EH14, EH27 and EH28, and nearby Currie (1.5 miles) and Colinton (3.6 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Balerno: free survey, written quote, one team. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Balerno homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. Whether you are in Balerno or elsewhere in Edinburgh, layout options come with an itemised written quote.

Water across much of Edinburgh 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.

What the job includes

A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors

Decisions to make first

Where the shower goes

A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.

Tile setting-out

Centring tiles on the window, basin or niche avoids thin slivers at the edges. Large tiles mean fewer joints but need flatter walls.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. The Technical Handbook uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom, and the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings.

Is the water hard in Balerno?

What happens at a bathroom design survey?

At the survey we measure and photograph the room and check the soil stack, waste routes, joists, water pressure, hot water system, electrics and ventilation. We also ask how the room is used and what you want to change. Everything that limits the layout is found at this stage, so the options we draw can actually be built.
