Working in Kirkcaldy

We cover every part of Kirkcaldy, including KY1 and KY2, and nearby Glenrothes (5.4 miles) and Dunfermline (11.9 miles).

Homes in and around Kirkcaldy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a busy Kirkcaldy household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. We survey in Kirkcaldy before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Water across much of Fife 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

Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure

Decisions to make first

Floor

Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Kirkcaldy really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover KY1 and KY2 in Kirkcaldy?

Yes. We cover all of Kirkcaldy, including KY1 and KY2, and nearby Glenrothes, Dunfermline and Queensferry. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you fit a separate bath and shower in a family bathroom?

Usually only in a room of about 6 m² or more, which leaves space for a 1700 mm bath, a shower enclosure, a basin and a WC without the room feeling crowded. In a smaller room, a shower bath with a screen gives most of the benefit. We test both layouts against your measurements at the survey.
