Working in Dunfermline

We work right across Dunfermline — KY12 — and in neighbouring Queensferry and Broxburn.

Dunfermline is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a wet room in a Dunfermline 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 you are planning a wet room in Dunfermline for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of Fife is soft. If that holds for your street in Dunfermline, 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 pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Dunfermline: questions

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

A wet room in Dunfermline usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Yes. We cover all of Dunfermline, including KY12, and nearby Queensferry, Broxburn and Grangemouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Dunfermline?

Will a wet room in Dunfermline 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.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
