Working in Galashiels

As well as Galashiels itself (TD1), we survey in Hawick, Kelso and Peebles.

Galashiels gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords with flats or houses in Galashiels can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. For Galashiels bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

Most of the Scottish Borders 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

Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
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

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.

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.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Galashiels: questions

How much does bathroom fitting cost in Galashiels?

Bathroom fitting in Galashiels 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.

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 Galashiels.

Is the home survey in Galashiels 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 TD1 in Galashiels?

Yes. We cover all of Galashiels, including TD1, and nearby Hawick, Kelso and Peebles. 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.
