Working in Falkirk

As well as Falkirk itself (FK1, FK2 and FK5), we survey in Grangemouth, Alloa and Cumbernauld.

Homes in and around Falkirk vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure small bathrooms in Falkirk to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If the door of your Falkirk bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

Supplies across most of the Forth Valley 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

Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well

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.

Small bathrooms in Falkirk: questions

Is the home survey in Falkirk really free?

Do you cover FK1 in Falkirk?

Yes. We cover all of Falkirk, including FK1, FK2 and FK5, and nearby Grangemouth, Alloa and Cumbernauld. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What makes a small bathroom look bigger?

Showing more floor and fewer edges makes a small bathroom look bigger. Wall-hung WCs and vanities, a single clear glass panel instead of a framed enclosure, larger tiles with matching grout, and the same floor tile running into the shower all help. A wide mirror on the basin wall bounces light around the room.
