Working in Dunoon

In Dunoon we cover PA23; we also cover Greenock, 6.4 miles away, and Helensburgh. Because Dunoon is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dunoon: free survey, written quote, one team. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Dunoon bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Landlords in Dunoon can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Supplies across most of Argyll and Bute 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

Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

Decisions to make first

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

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.

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.
