The service

One team,one finished room

What it covers

A full bathroom installation covers strip-out and disposal, first fix plumbing and electrics, alterations to waste runs and soil connections, walls and floors prepared and levelled, tanking to wet areas, tiling, sanitaryware and brassware installation, shower and bath fitting, extraction, lighting, heating and towel rails, second fix, sealing and finishing. Every part of that is done by our own team.

Who it's for

For Edinburgh homeowners replacing a tired bathroom, converting a bath to a walk-in shower, adding an en-suite or downstairs WC, or renovating a tenement bathroom where the existing layout no longer works. Also for anyone who has been through a job where four separate trades blamed each other and would rather not repeat it.

When you need it

When the room is costing you more than it should: failed sealant and recurring damp, tiles drumming loose, a shower that never had proper pressure, a layout that wastes the space, or an extractor that has never cleared the mirror. Booking ahead matters, a full bathroom is a planned job with a start date, not a call-out.

Why it needs doing properly

Bathrooms fail at the joins between trades. A tiler who arrives before the tanking is right, an electrician booked for the wrong day, a plumber who cannot proceed because the floor was never levelled; that is where timelines slip and where water eventually gets behind the finish. Keeping every trade in-house removes the handovers entirely, which is why the sequence holds and why the room is watertight where it matters.

Leave it and it grows

Where bathroomprojects go wrong

Almost every bathroom horror story is a coordination story or a waterproofing story. Both are avoidable, and both are expensive to fix retrospectively.

What it costs if ignored

Water getting behind tiles because a wet area was tiled without proper tanking rots the substrate and eventually the joists beneath it.
Failed sealant and grout let moisture into wall build-ups, which shows up as damp in the room next door or the ceiling below.
An inadequate or missing extractor leaves moisture in the room, which produces mould on cold external walls in Edinburgh flats.
Waste runs laid without sufficient fall block repeatedly and cannot be corrected without lifting the finished floor.
Trades booked in the wrong order add weeks of downtime while a household shares one bathroom or none.
Electrics installed outside the correct zoning rules in a wet room are a genuine safety issue, not a paperwork one.

Common mistakes we're called out to

Buying sanitaryware before anyone has measured the actual room and checked where the soil connection is.
Assuming any shower will perform without checking mains flow rate or whether a pump is needed.
Tiling straight onto unlevelled or unsuitable substrate to save a day.
Choosing a fitter on price and then paying separately for a tiler, an electrician and a joiner who never speak to one another.
Skipping the tanking because tiles and grout 'look waterproof'.
Leaving no access to isolation valves or the shower valve body, so any future repair starts by breaking tiles.

Our process

How the job runs,step by step

Step 1

Design and survey

We measure the room, check the soil and waste positions, test mains flow and pressure, and talk through layout, storage and how the room actually gets used before anything is specified.

Step 2

Specification and agreed price

A clear scope and price agreed before we start, including what is supplied by us and what you are choosing yourself, so there is no ambiguity mid-project.

Step 3

Strip-out and first fix

Old suite removed and disposed of, then plumbing and electrical first fix, waste re-runs, floor levelling and any structural or joinery work required.

Step 4

Tanking and tiling

Wet areas tanked properly before a single tile goes on, then tiling by our own tiler to the specified layout.

Step 5

Second fix and testing

Sanitaryware, brassware, shower, extraction, lighting and heating installed, then everything run and tested under load, falls checked, joints checked dry, shower run at temperature.

Step 6

Finish, clean and guarantee

Sealing, final finishing and a proper clean, a walkthrough of isolation points and controls, and 12 months of workmanship cover on the room.

What you get out of it

Specific outcomes,not vague promises

No trade coordination on you

One team, one schedule, one person accountable; you are not project-managing four contractors from your desk.

Sequence that holds

In-house trades mean tanking, tiling and second fix happen in the right order, which is what keeps the room watertight.

Shorter downtime

No gaps waiting for a subcontractor's availability, which is where most bathroom timelines actually slip.

Waterproof where it counts

Wet areas tanked, falls set correctly and joints tested, so the finish is protecting the structure rather than hiding it.

Plumbing-led specification

20+ years of plumbing and heating behind the design means the shower, the pressure and the waste runs work, not just the look.

One guarantee

12-month workmanship cover on the whole room from one business, rather than a set of separate arguments.

In detail

Materials, methodsand bathroom variations

Edinburgh bathrooms range from compact tenement rooms with cast iron soil stacks to modern en-suites in new estates. The build-up changes with the property.

Waterproofing and substrates

Wet areas get tanked with a proper membrane or tanking system over a suitable substrate, tile backer board or correctly prepared plasterboard depending on the location and the load. Floors are levelled and deflection considered before tiling, because a flexing timber floor cracks grout and eventually tiles. This is the layer nobody sees and the one that determines whether the room lasts.

Tiling and finishes

Ceramic, porcelain and large-format tiles all behave differently in terms of weight, adhesive and substrate requirement. Alternatives such as wall panelling suit some rooms and budgets better. Layout is set out from the room's real geometry, tenement rooms are rarely square, so cuts land where they are least visible.

Showers and water pressure

Mixer showers on good mains, thermostatic bar valves, concealed valves with fixed and handheld heads, electric showers where the water supply constrains options, and pumped systems where stored hot water and low pressure need help. Which one is right depends on measured flow and pressure, not on a catalogue. Concealed valves are installed with future access in mind.

Wet rooms and level access

Level-access and low-profile tray installations require correct falls, a suitable former or graded screed, full tanking and often structural consideration where joists have to be notched. Done properly they are excellent for accessibility; done badly they are the most expensive leak in the house.

Ventilation, heating and electrics

Extraction sized and ducted so it genuinely clears moisture rather than moving it into a loft. Heated towel rails and radiators sized to the room. Lighting, shaver points and any electrical work installed to correct zoning for wet areas. Underfloor heating where the build-up and floor construction allow it.

Variations of the service

Full bathroom renovations, bath-to-shower conversions, en-suite installations, downstairs WC additions, accessible and level-access bathrooms, tenement bathroom refurbishments, and supply-and-fit or fit-only where you have already chosen the suite. Domestic properties only.

Questions

Bathrooms, All In-Housequestions, answered

Anything we haven't covered, ask us directly on 07788 373160.

How long does a full bathroom fit take in Edinburgh?

A typical full renovation runs one to two weeks depending on the size of the room, the extent of the strip-out and whether the layout is changing. Because every trade is in-house, we are not waiting on subcontractor availability, which is what usually stretches these timelines.

How much does a new bathroom cost?

It depends heavily on the size of the room, whether the layout moves, and the sanitaryware and tiling you choose. We survey, agree a scope and give you a price before work starts, so the number you agree is the number you plan around.

Do you supply the bathroom suite or do I?

Either works. Plenty of clients choose and buy their own suite and tiles, and plenty prefer us to specify and supply. What matters is that the choice is made before first fix so the pipework and waste positions suit the actual products.

Will I be without a bathroom the whole time?

The room being worked on is out of use for the duration, but we plan the sequence to restore a working toilet and water supply as early as practical, and we tell you upfront which days are affected.

Do you do the tiling and electrics too, or do I arrange those?

We do them. The whole point of our all-in-house team is that tiling, electrics, joinery, plumbing and finishing are all ours, with one point of contact and no gaps between trades.

Can you convert my bath into a walk-in shower?

Yes, this is one of our most common jobs. We check the waste and soil positions, the floor construction and the available water pressure, then specify a tray or level-access build-up that suits the room.

How long should a fitted bathroom last?

A properly tanked, correctly tiled bathroom with sound falls should give you well over a decade of service, with sealant and grout maintained as consumables. Rooms that fail early almost always failed at the waterproofing stage, not the visible one.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, 12 months on our workmanship across the whole installation, plus manufacturer warranties on the products fitted.

Do you work in tenement flats?

Regularly. Tenement work brings shared soil stacks, neighbours below and tight access, all of which we plan for, including how and when water is isolated.

Which areas do you cover?

Edinburgh and the Lothians, including Leith, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Corstorphine, Currie, South Queensferry, Bonnyrigg and Loanhead.
