Working in Forres

In Forres we cover IV36; we also cover Nairn, 9.8 miles away, and Elgin.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Forres: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure small bathrooms in Forres to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If your Forres 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 Moray 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
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Do you cover IV36 in Forres?

Yes. We cover all of Forres, including IV36, and nearby Nairn, Elgin and Lossiemouth. 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.
