Working in Aberdeen

In Aberdeen we cover AB10, AB11, AB12 and 5 more postcode districts; we also cover Inverurie, 14.3 miles away, and Peterhead.

Aberdeen 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 nobody in your Aberdeen home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. If you live in a terrace or semi in Aberdeen with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin

Decisions to make first

Tiles and grout

Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.

Keep the bath or go walk-in

A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, building standards apply rather than Part P. A like-for-like refit rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage, for example moving the WC to a new connection, may. Wiring should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Aberdeen: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Aberdeen?

A small bathroom in Aberdeen usually costs £4,300–£8,200 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover AB10 in Aberdeen?

Yes. We cover all of Aberdeen, including AB10, AB11, AB12, AB15 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby Inverurie, Peterhead and Fraserburgh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Aberdeen?

Will a small bathroom in Aberdeen 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.

Is it worth taking the bath out of a small bathroom?

It is worth it if nobody in the house uses the bath. A walk-in shower in the same space gives more standing room, a lower step and a more open floor. If it is the only bath in a family home, consider keeping one, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 mm bath with a shower over it. Our small bathroom ideas guide covers more options.
