Working in Balerno

In Balerno we cover EH14, EH27 and EH28; we also cover Currie, 1.5 miles away, and Colinton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Balerno: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords with flats or houses in Balerno can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. For Balerno bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

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

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
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us

Decisions to make first

Same layout or new

Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.

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.

Bathroom fitting in Balerno: questions

How much does bathroom fitting cost in Balerno?

Bathroom fitting in Balerno usually costs £2,100–£5,800 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Balerno really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover EH14 in Balerno?

Yes. We cover all of Balerno, including EH14, EH27 and EH28, and nearby Currie, Colinton and Penicuik. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Balerno?

Should I buy my own bathroom suite or let the fitter supply it?

Buying your own gives you full choice and can save money in a sale, but you take on deliveries, checking every box and any returns. Supply and fit puts that on the fitter and gives you one price for everything. If you are unsure, ask for both options on the same quote. See fitted bathrooms for supply and fit.
