Working in Inverness

We cover all of Inverness, including IV1 and IV3, and nearby Nairn and Fort William.

In a city the size of Inverness, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Inverness 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 are refreshing a family bathroom in Inverness before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Most of the Highlands and Islands 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

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
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

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.

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.

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 Inverness: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Inverness?

A family bathroom in Inverness usually costs £5,800–£10,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover IV1 and IV3 in Inverness?

Yes. We cover all of Inverness, including IV1 and IV3, and nearby Nairn and Fort William. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Inverness?

Will a family bathroom in Inverness 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.
