Working in Livingston

In Livingston we cover EH53 and EH54; we also cover Broxburn, 2.9 miles away, and Bathgate.

In Livingston, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Livingston property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. If your Livingston home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use.

Supplies across most of the Lothians 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

A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches

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.

Shower system

A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.

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.

Luxury bathrooms in Livingston: questions

How much does a luxury bathroom cost in Livingston?

A luxury bathroom in Livingston 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.

Do you cover EH53 and EH54 in Livingston?

Yes. We cover all of Livingston, including EH53 and EH54, and nearby Broxburn, Bathgate and Balerno. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Livingston?

Will a luxury bathroom in Livingston 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.
