Supplies across most of Lanarkshire are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. For East Kilbride homeowners keeping their existing tiles, a furniture run can often go in over one to three days.
What the job includes
- A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
Decisions to make first
Door style
Slab doors are the easiest to wipe down. Shaker doors look traditional but have grooves that collect dust. Handleless push-to-open doors suit a plain, modern room.
Unit depth
Slimline units are shallower and suit narrow rooms; standard-depth units hold more and give a wider worktop over the cistern.
Cistern type
A back-to-wall pan can use a cistern that sits inside the WC unit, which is simple to service. A wall-hung WC needs a load-bearing frame built in behind the run.
Lighting in the run
Plinth lights and an illuminated mirror cabinet must be planned at first fix, because the cables run inside the furniture and need RCD protection.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Fitted furniture itself is not controlled by building regulations, but what goes into it is. A new WC must meet the water fittings rules, with a maximum 6-litre flush and backflow protection. Illuminated mirrors, cabinet lights and shaver points must suit the bathroom zones under BS 7671, on circuits with 30 mA RCD protection, and apart from shaver supply units, sockets must be at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1.
In Scotland, fitting furniture in an existing bathroom does not need a building warrant. New WCs and taps must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014, and any wiring for lit units is tested and certified to BS 7671.
