Working in Dunfermline

We cover every part of Dunfermline, including KY12, and nearby Queensferry (6 miles) and Broxburn (9.5 miles).

In a city the size of Dunfermline, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your second bathroom in Dunfermline is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. Where a Dunfermline shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Most of Fife is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Dunfermline, 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

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

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.

Shower rooms in Dunfermline: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Dunfermline?

A shower room in Dunfermline usually costs £4,300–£8,600 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 KY12 in Dunfermline?

Yes. We cover all of Dunfermline, including KY12, and nearby Queensferry, Broxburn and Grangemouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Dunfermline?

Will a shower room in Dunfermline 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.
