Bathroom installation covers stripping out the old suite, altering plumbing and wiring, waterproofing, tiling, and fitting the new bath, shower, toilet, basin and heated towel rail. We also build new en-suites and shower rooms in lofts and extensions.

How much should I budget for bathroom installation?

Use these ranges to budget for bathrooms and en-suites; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.

Bathrooms and en-suites	Guide price incl. VAT
En-suite or shower room	£5,500 to £10,000
Family bathroom refit	£7,000 to £12,000
Premium bathroom or wet room	£12,000 to £20,000

How is bathroom installation approved in Dumfries?

In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.

Bathroom refits do not usually need planning permission; new bathrooms or drainage changes may need a building warrant.

What should I think about before starting?

Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.

Usually £7,000 to £12,000 for a family bathroom refit including VAT, and £5,500 to £10,000 for an en-suite.

Can you add an en-suite to a bedroom?

Yes, if a waste route to the soil stack is possible. A macerator is an option where it is not.
