Working in Nairn

In Nairn we cover IV12; we also cover Forres, 9.8 miles away, and Inverness.

Nairn gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If nobody in your Nairn 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 Nairn with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Most of the Highlands and Islands is supplied with soft water. 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
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
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.

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

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.

Is the water hard in Nairn?

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
