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. We quote wet rooms in Bonnyrigg only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If your Bonnyrigg bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Most of the Lothians is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bonnyrigg, 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
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

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.

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.

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 Bonnyrigg: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Bonnyrigg?

A wet room in Bonnyrigg 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.

Is the home survey in Bonnyrigg really free?

Do you cover EH18 in Bonnyrigg?

Is the water hard in Bonnyrigg?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
