Working in Dundee

We cover every part of Dundee, including DD1, DD2, DD3 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Carnoustie (10.5 miles) and St Andrews (11.2 miles).

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. Whether your Dundee bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you have young children at home in Dundee, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Most of Dundee and Angus 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

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
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Bath material

Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.

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 Dundee: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Dundee?

A family bathroom in Dundee usually costs £5,800–£10,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

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 a family bathroom 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.

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.
