Working in Glasgow

We work right across Glasgow — G1, G2, G3 and 25 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Rutherglen and Bishopbriggs.

In a city the size of Glasgow, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Glasgow bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. If nobody in your Glasgow home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow 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

Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
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

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.

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.

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 Glasgow: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Glasgow?

A small bathroom in Glasgow usually costs £4,300–£8,200 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Do you cover G1 in Glasgow?

Yes. We cover all of Glasgow, including G1, G2, G3, G4 and 24 more postcode districts, and nearby Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs and Bearsden. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Glasgow?

Will a small bathroom in Glasgow 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.
