Working in Hawick

As well as Hawick itself (TD9), we survey in Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles.

Hawick gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you live in a terrace or semi in Hawick with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. We measure small bathrooms in Hawick to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Most of the Scottish Borders 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

Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor

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.

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.

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 Hawick: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Hawick?

A small bathroom in Hawick 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 TD9 in Hawick?

Yes. We cover all of Hawick, including TD9, and nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hawick?

Will a small bathroom in Hawick 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.
