Working in Dundee

As well as Dundee itself (DD1, DD2, DD3 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Carnoustie, St Andrews and Forfar.

Dundee is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We quote new en-suites in Dundee only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If the en-suite in your Dundee home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.

Supplies across most of Dundee and Angus are soft. If that holds for your street in Dundee, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

Decisions to make first

Shower size

A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, forming a new en-suite may need a building warrant because it creates a new bathroom and alters drainage; refitting an existing one rarely does. The Technical Handbook uses the same 15 litres per second extract rate for a bathroom, and the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Dundee: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Dundee?

An en-suite in Dundee usually costs £4,300–£8,600 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.

Do you cover DD1 in Dundee?

Yes. We cover all of Dundee, including DD1, DD2, DD3, DD4 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Carnoustie, St Andrews and Forfar. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Dundee?

Will an en-suite in Dundee 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.

How much space do you need for an en-suite?

As a rough guide, about 2.5 m² is the practical minimum for a shower, basin and WC, for example a space of around 1.2 m by 2.1 m. The exact layout depends on where the door, window and soil stack are, so we test it against your measurements rather than a rule of thumb.
