Working in Rothesay

We cover all of Rothesay, including PA20. Because Rothesay 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 Rothesay: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords in Rothesay can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. Wall-hung vanities in Rothesay homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Water across much of Argyll and Bute is 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

Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

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.

One basin or two

Two basins help a busy household if the wall is long enough. In a smaller room, one basin with a longer top often works better.

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.
