Working in Colinton

We cover every part of Colinton, including EH11, EH13 and EH14, and nearby Currie (2.2 miles) and Balerno (3.6 miles).

Colinton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Colinton bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. We survey in Colinton before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

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 check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
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

Decisions to make first

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

Who buys the materials

Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.

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.

Is the home survey in Colinton 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 EH11 in Colinton?

Yes. We cover all of Colinton, including EH11, EH13 and EH14, and nearby Currie, Balerno and Penicuik. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Who is responsible if a product I supplied is faulty?

If you bought the product, a fault with it is a matter for the retailer or manufacturer that sold it to you. We are responsible for our fitting work. If a fault shows up during fitting, we stop, show you, and help you describe it to the seller; fitting a replacement part can add labour, which we agree with you first.
