Working in Hamilton

In Hamilton we cover ML3; we also cover Motherwell, 2.2 miles away, and Blantyre.

In Hamilton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Hamilton before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. We survey in Hamilton before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Water across much of Lanarkshire 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
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
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

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.

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.

Family bathrooms in Hamilton: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Hamilton?

A family bathroom in Hamilton 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 Hamilton.

Is the home survey in Hamilton 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 ML3 in Hamilton?

Yes. We cover all of Hamilton, including ML3, and nearby Motherwell, Blantyre and Larkhall. 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.
