Working in Broxburn

We work right across Broxburn — EH52 — and in neighbouring Livingston and Queensferry.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Broxburn: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are converting a bathroom in Broxburn into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. We plan shower rooms in Broxburn around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Water across much of the Lothians is soft. If that holds for your street in Broxburn, 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

Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Broxburn: questions

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

A shower room in Broxburn 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 EH52 in Broxburn?

Yes. We cover all of Broxburn, including EH52, and nearby Livingston, Queensferry and Balerno. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Broxburn?

Will a shower room in Broxburn 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.
