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. If your Oban home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use. If you live in a listed building in Oban, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.

Most of Argyll and Bute 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

A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Wall and floor finish

Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.

Freestanding bath material

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, structural work such as strengthening a floor, or altering the drainage, may need a building warrant. An unvented cylinder should be fitted by an installer qualified for unvented systems, and the electrics tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about luxury bathrooms

Luxury bathrooms in Oban: questions

What is the price of a luxury bathroom in Oban?

A luxury bathroom in Oban usually costs £11,500–£24,000 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.

Is the water hard in Oban?

Will a luxury 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 luxury bathroom take?

Allow 10–15 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.

Do I need an unvented cylinder for a rainfall shower?

Not always, but a large rainfall head needs strong flow and plenty of hot water. A combi boiler may struggle to feed one, and a tank-fed system would need a pump. An unvented cylinder gives mains pressure from a stored supply and suits larger showers; it must be installed by a G3-qualified installer. We test your pressure and flow at the survey.
