Bathrooms questions, answered properly

How much does a new bathroom cost in Lanarkshire?

A basic like-for-like refit typically lands between £3,500 and £5,500 including labour and mid-range fittings; a larger bathroom with a walk-in shower, moved services and quality tiling is usually £6,000 to £12,000.

The variables that move the price most are moving the soil pipe, tanking for a wet room, the tile area and whether the floor needs strengthening or levelling first.

We quote in writing after a survey, itemised so you can see exactly where money goes and adjust the spec before we start.

Can you do wet rooms and level-access bathrooms?

Yes. We form and tank level-access wet rooms with a graded former, fully bonded waterproof membrane and linear drainage, which is the right approach for mobility and future-proofing.

  • Level-access showers with linear or point drainage
  • Full tanking to walls and floor before tiling
  • Grab rails, seats and thermostatic controls
  • Slip-resistant flooring options
  • Advice on layouts for wheelchair turning circles

What happens to my old bathroom and the mess?

We sheet the route in, strip the old suite out on day one and take everything away. Dust barriers stay up while cutting and tiling, and the room is cleaned at the end of every day.

In terraced and cottage properties around Lanark and Kirkfieldbank where access is tight, we plan the strip-out route before we start so nothing gets carried through a carpeted hallway unprotected.

Do you supply the bathroom or can I buy my own?

Either. We can supply the full suite through trade merchants, usually at a better price than retail, or fit a suite you have bought yourself.

If you buy your own, order everything before we start and keep the boxes until the fit is finished — a missing waste kit or wrong-handed shower tray is the most common cause of a paused job.

Bathrooms FAQs

How long does a new bathroom take to fit?

A typical full bathroom replacement takes about five to ten working days, depending on tiling, whether walls or floors are being moved and how much making good is needed. We give you a day-by-day plan before starting so you know when the room is usable again.

Do you supply the bathroom or do I buy it?

Either works. We can supply the suite, shower, tiles and fittings through our trade suppliers, or install items you have bought yourself. If you supply the goods, we check the specification first so nothing arrives that will not fit or perform properly.

Can you fit a walk-in or level-access shower?

Yes. We install low-profile and level-access showers, wet rooms, grab rails and seats for customers who need step-free access. We check floor construction and drainage falls first, as these determine whether a fully level tray or wet floor is achievable.

Do you do the tiling and electrics too?

We handle the plumbing, tiling, flooring and waterproofing in-house and coordinate qualified electrical work for showers, lighting and extractors. You deal with one team from strip-out to final silicone rather than chasing separate trades.
