Working in Inverurie

We cover every part of Inverurie, including AB51, and nearby Aberdeen (14.3 miles) and Peterhead (26.8 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Inverurie: free survey, written quote, one team. In a compact Inverurie bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Inverurie home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Inverurie, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

Decisions to make first

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a wet room that alters the drainage, involves structural work to the floor or forms a new bathroom may need a building warrant; a straight refit usually does not. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Inverurie: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Inverurie?

A wet room in Inverurie usually costs £5,800–£11,500 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.

Is the water hard in Inverurie?

Will a wet room in Inverurie 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Inverurie.

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your title deeds first. Agreement from the other owners or the factor is commonly needed, especially where the drainage or the floor changes, and the risk of a leak into the flat below means the tanking and drain connection must be done with care. Sound insulation in the floor matters too.
