Working in Falkirk

We work right across Falkirk — FK1, FK2 and FK5 — and in neighbouring Grangemouth and Alloa.

In Falkirk, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have young children at home in Falkirk, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. We survey in Falkirk before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Most of the Forth Valley 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
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Falkirk: questions

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

A family bathroom in Falkirk 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.

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 Falkirk.

Is the home survey in Falkirk 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 FK1 in Falkirk?

Yes. We cover all of Falkirk, including FK1, FK2 and FK5, and nearby Grangemouth, Alloa and Cumbernauld. 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.
