Working in Broxburn

We work right across Broxburn — EH52 — and in neighbouring Livingston and Queensferry.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Broxburn: free survey, written quote, one team. If you live in a terrace or semi in Broxburn with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. For a small Broxburn bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Supplies across most of the Lothians 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

Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down

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 Broxburn: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Broxburn?

A small bathroom in Broxburn 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 EH52 in Broxburn?

Yes. We cover all of Broxburn, including EH52, and nearby Livingston, Queensferry and Balerno. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Broxburn?

Will a small bathroom in Broxburn 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.

What storage works in a small bathroom?

Storage that comes off the floor works well: a wall-hung vanity under the basin, a mirror cabinet above it and recessed niches in the shower wall. Boxing around the soil stack or cistern can often be rebuilt with a shelf on top. Avoid deep units that stop the door opening fully.
