Working in Aberdeen

We work right across Aberdeen — AB10, AB11, AB12 and 5 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Inverurie and Peterhead.

In a city the size of Aberdeen, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Aberdeen before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. If you have young children at home in Aberdeen, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland there is no Part P. A straight replacement of a family bathroom rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage or forming a bathroom in a different room may. Water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014, and the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Aberdeen: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Aberdeen?

A family bathroom in Aberdeen usually costs £5,800–£10,500 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 AB10 in Aberdeen?

Yes. We cover all of Aberdeen, including AB10, AB11, AB12, AB15 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby Inverurie, Peterhead and Fraserburgh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Aberdeen?

Will a family bathroom in Aberdeen 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.

Should a family bathroom have a bath?

If you have young children, yes: bathing a toddler in a shower tray is hard work. In a single-bathroom house, a bath with a good thermostatic shower over it gives you both in one footprint. If the children are older and nobody baths, a walk-in shower may suit you better; our bath or shower guide sets out the trade-offs.
