Working in Peebles

As well as Peebles itself (EH45), we survey in Penicuik, Galashiels and Bonnyrigg.

Peebles gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Peebles bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site. Fitted furniture suits the many Peebles bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household.

Water across much of the Scottish Borders 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

First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
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
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified

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 Peebles: questions

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

A fitted bathroom in Peebles usually costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Peebles?

Will a fitted bathroom in Peebles 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 Peebles.

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.
