Working in Currie

In Currie we cover EH11, EH13 and EH14; we also cover Balerno, 1.5 miles away, and Colinton.

Currie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure Currie bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan. Whether you are in Currie or elsewhere in Edinburgh, layout options come with an itemised written quote.

Supplies across most of Edinburgh are 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

Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail

Decisions to make first

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.

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

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.

More about bathroom design

Bathroom design in Currie: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Currie?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Currie typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT.

Is the water hard in Currie?

Will a new bathroom design in Currie 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.

How long does a new bathroom design take?

Allow survey visit plus design on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Currie.

What is the best layout for a small bathroom?

In most small bathrooms the most practical layout puts the bath or shower along the longest wall, the WC on or close to the soil stack and the basin nearest the door. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower, using short-projection pieces and hanging them on the wall all free up floor. Our small bathrooms page covers typical layouts.
