Working in Inverness

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

In a city the size of Inverness, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your second bathroom in Inverness is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If you are converting a bathroom in Inverness into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Water across much of the Highlands and Islands is soft. If that holds for your street in Inverness, 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

A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Inverness: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Inverness?

A shower room in Inverness 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 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 shower room 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.

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.
