Working in Arbroath

In Arbroath we cover DD11; we also cover Carnoustie, 6.1 miles away, and Forfar.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Arbroath: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether your Arbroath bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. If your Arbroath home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.

Water across much of Dundee and Angus 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

Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, structural work, altering drainage or forming a new bathroom may need a building warrant, which must be granted before that work starts. A straight refit rarely needs one. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.
