What does a new bathroom design cost in Kelso?

Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Kelso, 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 Kelso

In Kelso we cover TD5; we also cover Galashiels, 14.6 miles away, and Hawick.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kelso: free survey, written quote, one team. A design survey in Kelso covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. Whether you are in Kelso or elsewhere in the Scottish Borders, layout options come with an itemised written quote.

Supplies across most of the Scottish Borders 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

A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation

Decisions to make first

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.

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 home survey in Kelso really free?

Is the water hard in Kelso?

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.
