Working in Elgin

As well as Elgin itself (IV30), we survey in Lossiemouth, Forres and Buckie.

Homes in and around Elgin vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fitted furniture suits the many Elgin bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Elgin bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.

Supplies across most of Moray are 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

Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go

Decisions to make first

Worktop

Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to clean.

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

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 Elgin: questions

How much does a fitted bathroom cost in Elgin?

A fitted bathroom in Elgin usually costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover IV30 in Elgin?

Yes. We cover all of Elgin, including IV30, and nearby Lossiemouth, Forres and Buckie. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Elgin?

Will a fitted bathroom in Elgin 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.
