Working in Kirkcaldy

In Kirkcaldy we cover KY1 and KY2; we also cover Glenrothes, 5.4 miles away, and Dunfermline.

Homes in and around Kirkcaldy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Kirkcaldy bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. We survey in Kirkcaldy before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Most of Fife is supplied with soft water. 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

First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste

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.

Making good

Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.

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 Kirkcaldy: questions

What is the price of bathroom fitting in Kirkcaldy?

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 Kirkcaldy.

Is the home survey in Kirkcaldy 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 KY1 and KY2 in Kirkcaldy?

Yes. We cover all of Kirkcaldy, including KY1 and KY2, and nearby Glenrothes, Dunfermline and Queensferry. 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.
