Working in Dunfermline

In Dunfermline we cover KY12; we also cover Queensferry, 6 miles away, and Broxburn.

In a city the size of Dunfermline, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Dunfermline 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 Dunfermline, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Most of Fife 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

Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
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.

Bath shape

A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.

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.

Family bathrooms in Dunfermline: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Dunfermline?

A family bathroom in Dunfermline 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.

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 family bathroom 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.

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.
