Working in Inverness

We cover all of Inverness, including IV1 and IV3, and nearby Nairn and Fort William.

Inverness is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a period house in Inverness with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room. If your Inverness home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use.

Most of the Highlands and Islands 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

Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan

Decisions to make first

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.

Lighting

Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.

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 Inverness: questions

How much does a luxury bathroom cost in Inverness?

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

Do you cover IV1 and IV3 in Inverness?

Yes. We cover all of Inverness, including IV1 and IV3, and nearby Nairn and Fort William. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Inverness?

Will a luxury bathroom in Inverness 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.

Can my floor take a freestanding bath?

Most floors can take an acrylic freestanding bath, but stone-resin and cast-iron baths are far heavier, and the weight sits on a small area. We check the joist size, span and condition at the survey; strengthening a timber floor or spreading the load is sometimes needed, and it is planned before the bath is ordered.
