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?

Typical ranges for bathrooms and en-suites. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

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

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Motherwell?

Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.

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.
Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.

What are the steps?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
