Homes in Edinburgh
Housing in Scotland includes tenements in the cities, sandstone villas, inter-war and post-war semis and a large number of bungalows, which often suit dormer and upward extensions.
What does bathroom installation involve?
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.
- Plumbing and waste alterations
- Waterproofing (tanking) of wet areas
- Tiling, sanitaryware and brassware
What is the guide price for bathroom installation in Edinburgh?

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Edinburgh?
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 can affect bathroom installation?
- Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
