Working in Queensferry

In Queensferry we cover EH30; we also cover Broxburn, 4.8 miles away, and Dunfermline.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Queensferry: free survey, written quote, one team. If nobody in your Queensferry 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 your Queensferry bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Water across much of Edinburgh 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.

What the job includes

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
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

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

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 Queensferry: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Queensferry?

A small bathroom in Queensferry 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 EH30 in Queensferry?

Yes. We cover all of Queensferry, including EH30, and nearby Broxburn, Dunfermline and Currie. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Queensferry?

Will a small bathroom in Queensferry 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.
