Working in Oban

We cover all of Oban, including PA34, and nearby Dunoon and Helensburgh. Because Oban is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oban: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether your Oban bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Oban bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.

Water across much of Argyll and Bute 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

Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, building standards apply instead of Part P. A straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. Electrical work should still be tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about fitted bathrooms

Fitted bathrooms in Oban: questions

How much should I budget for a fitted bathroom in Oban?

A fitted bathroom in Oban usually costs £6,200–£11,500 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.

Is the water hard in Oban?

Will a fitted bathroom in Oban 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.

How long does a fitted 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 Oban.

Can I supply my own bathroom suite?

Yes. We can fit a suite you have already bought, and quote for the fitting only. We will check the product list at the survey, because missing parts, the wrong waste or an incompatible cistern are the usual causes of delays on fit-only jobs.
