Bathroom PlumbingEdinburgh

Basic bathroom plumbing in Edinburgh (basin, toilet & bath) costs £900–£1,600. A full ensuite with shower, basin & WC runs £1,600–£2,800. Complete bathroom re-plumb with new layout costs £2,500–£4,500 depending on pipework complexity, floor construction, and number of fixtures. We provide fully itemised quotes.

Yes — we provide bathroom plumbing across all Edinburgh areas including Morningside, Stockbridge, Leith, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Murrayfield, Newington, Portobello, Corstorphine, Trinity, Inverleith, and beyond. We typically have availability within 1–2 weeks for planned work and can often accommodate urgent requirements faster.

First fix plumbing (concealed pipework before tiling) takes 1–2 days. Second fix (fitting fixtures after tiling) takes 1–2 days. Full bathroom re-plumb with layout change typically takes 4–6 days total across both visits, allowing for plastering and tiling between first and second fix.

Yes — we regularly relocate toilets, basins, baths, and showers in Edinburgh properties. The key factors are achieving the correct waste pipe falls (typically 18–90mm per metre), soil stack proximity, and floor construction (solid or suspended). We always assess feasibility at free survey before quoting.

Yes, we install wet rooms in Edinburgh tenements and flats. The key requirements are a tanked, waterproofed wet area with a linear or central drain, proper fall to the drain, and a structural floor capable of supporting the system. We work with our tiling team for a seamless, leak-free result.

Yes — we handle the complete bathroom plumbing package: hot and cold water supply pipes (copper or plastic), thermostatic shower valves, waste and overflow connections, soil pipes, and drainage connections. All work complies with Scottish Building Standards and Scottish Water byelaws.

Yes — for Edinburgh properties with lower mains water pressure (common in older tenements and Victorian properties), we install shower pumps to boost pressure. We recommend twin-impeller pumps for showering and assess your system pressure at survey to determine if a pump is required.

First fix is all the hidden pipework installed before walls are plastered and tiled: supply pipes, waste pipes, soil connections, and boxing-in frames. Second fix is everything installed after decorating: baths, showers, basins, taps, toilets, and visible chrome fittings. We coordinate both stages with our plastering and tiling teams.

Minor bathroom plumbing works (like-for-like replacement of fixtures) do not require a building warrant. However, adding a new bathroom or wet room, or making significant changes to hot water systems, may require one from City of Edinburgh Council. We advise on requirements at survey and can manage the application process.

Yes — we have extensive experience working in Edinburgh's listed buildings and conservation areas, particularly in the Old Town and Georgian New Town. We work sensitively to preserve original features while installing modern plumbing, and advise on any Listed Building Consent requirements for structural penetrations.
