Working in Colinton

We work right across Colinton — EH11, EH13 and EH14 — and in neighbouring Currie and Balerno.

Colinton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For homes in Colinton where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible. Whether your Colinton bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.

Water across much of Edinburgh 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

A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Furniture finish

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

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 Colinton: questions

How much does a fitted bathroom cost in Colinton?

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

Is the home survey in Colinton 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 EH11 in Colinton?

Yes. We cover all of Colinton, including EH11, EH13 and EH14, and nearby Currie, Balerno and Penicuik. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can I keep my bathroom layout to save money?

Yes. Keeping the WC on the same soil stack position and the bath or shower where it is now usually saves several hundred pounds in plumbing. A fitted furniture run can still change the look of the room completely without moving the main fittings.
