Working in Bonnyrigg

As well as Bonnyrigg itself (EH18, EH19 and EH24), we survey in Musselburgh, Penicuik and Colinton.

Bonnyrigg gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Bonnyrigg 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. For a busy Bonnyrigg household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

Most of the Lothians 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

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

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.

Screen or curtain

Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.

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 Bonnyrigg: questions

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

A family bathroom in Bonnyrigg usually costs £5,800–£10,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Bonnyrigg 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 EH18 in Bonnyrigg?

Yes. We cover all of Bonnyrigg, including EH18, EH19 and EH24, and nearby Musselburgh, Penicuik and Colinton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bonnyrigg?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
