Which towns do we cover in Dundee and Angus?
Water across much of Dundee and Angus is 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. For a small Dundee bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.
What the job includes
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
- Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Decisions to make first
WC type
A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.
Glass
Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.
Storage
Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.
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
A small bathroom refit in the same room does not need planning permission. The electrical zones matter more in a tight room because the lights and fan end up close to the shower: fittings above the bath or tray up to 2.25 m must be at least IPX4, and any socket other than a shaver supply unit must be at least 3 m from that zone, which in a small bathroom usually rules sockets out. Every circuit needs 30 mA RCD protection under BS 7671.
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.
