Working in Bonnyrigg

As well as Bonnyrigg itself (EH18, EH19 and EH24), we survey in Musselburgh, Penicuik and Colinton.

Bonnyrigg gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Bonnyrigg water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Landlords in Bonnyrigg can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Water across much of the Lothians 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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
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

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

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.
