Working in Currie

As well as Currie itself (EH11, EH13 and EH14), we survey in Balerno, Colinton and Penicuik.

Currie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Currie bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. If your Currie home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

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

Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

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.

Fit-only or supply and fit

Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.

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.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Currie: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom fitting in Currie?

Bathroom fitting in Currie usually costs £2,100–£5,800 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Currie?

Will bathroom fitting 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 bathroom fitting take?

Allow 4–8 working days 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 does a bathroom fitter do?

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
