Working in Kelso

We work right across Kelso — TD5 — and in neighbouring Galashiels and Hawick.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kelso: free survey, written quote, one team. Fit-only work in Kelso is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. If your Kelso home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

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

A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us

Decisions to make first

Tiling

Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.

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 Kelso: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom fitting in Kelso?

Bathroom fitting in Kelso 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 Kelso 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 TD5 in Kelso?

Yes. We cover all of Kelso, including TD5, and nearby Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Kelso?

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.
