Working in East Kilbride

We work right across East Kilbride — G74 — and in neighbouring Cambuslang and Blantyre.

East Kilbride has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For a busy East Kilbride household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. We survey in East Kilbride before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Supplies across most of Lanarkshire are 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

A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

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 East Kilbride: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in East Kilbride?

A family bathroom in East Kilbride 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 G74 in East Kilbride?

Yes. We cover all of East Kilbride, including G74, and nearby Cambuslang, Blantyre and Rutherglen. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in East Kilbride?

Will a family bathroom in East Kilbride 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.
