Working in Peterhead

We work right across Peterhead — AB42 — and in neighbouring Fraserburgh and Inverurie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peterhead: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Peterhead water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. We quote vanity unit work in Peterhead after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

Decisions to make first

Width

Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.

Vanity units in Peterhead: questions

How much should I budget for a new vanity unit in Peterhead?

A new vanity unit in Peterhead usually costs £350–£1,450 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Peterhead really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover AB42 in Peterhead?

Yes. We cover all of Peterhead, including AB42, and nearby Fraserburgh, Inverurie and Aberdeen. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
