Working in Stirling

As well as Stirling itself (FK7, FK8, FK9 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Alloa, Falkirk and Grangemouth.

In Stirling, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Stirling bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. For homes in Stirling 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.

Most of the Forth Valley 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

Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go

Decisions to make first

Bath, shower or both

Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.

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 Stirling: questions

What is the price of a fitted bathroom in Stirling?

A fitted bathroom in Stirling 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.

Do you cover FK7 in Stirling?

Yes. We cover all of Stirling, including FK7, FK8, FK9 and FK15, and nearby Alloa, Falkirk and Grangemouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Stirling?

Will a fitted bathroom in Stirling 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.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
