What does bathroom fitting cost in Oban?
In Oban, bathroom fitting typically costs £2,100–£5,800 including VAT, based on Scotland prices. Prices in Scotland run at about 4% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. Travel and delivery to islands and remote areas are priced on your quote. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Oban
We cover all of Oban, including PA34, and nearby Dunoon and Helensburgh. Because Oban is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oban: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords with flats or houses in Oban can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. Fit-only work in Oban is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room.
Supplies across most of Argyll and Bute 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
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
- Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
- Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Decisions to make first
Tiling
Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.
Delivery timing
Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new taps, WCs and showers, whoever bought them. A like-for-like fit rarely needs a building warrant; a new layout that alters drainage may. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.
