Working in Currie

We cover every part of Currie, including EH11, EH13 and EH14, and nearby Balerno (1.5 miles) and Colinton (2.2 miles).

Currie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a wet room in a Currie flat, the first step is the title deeds, because agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed before any work starts. If your Currie bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Most of Edinburgh is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Currie, 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

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

Decisions to make first

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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.

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 Currie: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Currie?

A wet room in Currie 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 Currie?

Will a wet room in Currie 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 Currie.

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.
