Working in Dundee

As well as Dundee itself (DD1, DD2, DD3 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Carnoustie, St Andrews and Forfar.

Dundee is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are converting a bathroom in Dundee into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If your second bathroom in Dundee is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Water across much of Dundee and Angus is soft. If that holds for your street in Dundee, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, building standards apply instead of Part P. A refit in the same room rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage may. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Dundee: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Dundee?

A shower room in Dundee usually costs £4,300–£8,600 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 DD1 in Dundee?

Yes. We cover all of Dundee, including DD1, DD2, DD3, DD4 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Carnoustie, St Andrews and Forfar. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Dundee?

Will a shower room in Dundee 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 shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
