Working in Currie

We cover every part of Currie, including EH11, EH13 and EH14, and nearby Balerno (1.5 miles) and Colinton (2.2 miles).

Currie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Currie home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows. If you have young children at home in Currie, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Water across much of Edinburgh 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

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 Currie: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Currie?

A family bathroom in Currie usually costs £5,800–£10,500 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.

Is the water hard in Currie?

Will a family bathroom in Currie 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 long does a family bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Currie.

What is the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom?

Porcelain tiles are the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom: they do not absorb water and are hard to scratch. Choose a matt or textured finish so wet feet do not slip. Luxury vinyl tile is warmer underfoot and costs less, but it can be dented and needs a perfectly flat subfloor.
