Water across much of Fife 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

Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
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

Decisions to make first

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.

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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.

More about bathroom renovation

Bathroom renovation in Dunfermline: questions

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Dunfermline?

A bathroom renovation in Dunfermline usually costs £7,200–£14,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover KY12 in Dunfermline?

Yes. We cover all of Dunfermline, including KY12, and nearby Queensferry, Broxburn and Grangemouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Dunfermline?

Will a bathroom renovation in Dunfermline 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.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
