Working in Bonnyrigg

We cover every part of Bonnyrigg, including EH18, EH19 and EH24, and nearby Musselburgh (5.2 miles) and Penicuik (5.5 miles).

Bonnyrigg gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your second bathroom in Bonnyrigg is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If nobody in your Bonnyrigg home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Supplies across most of the Lothians are soft. If that holds for your street in Bonnyrigg, 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
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

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.

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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.

Is the water hard in Bonnyrigg?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
