Bathroom Ideas
Ideas for a villa family bathroom, a cottage shower room and a bungalow bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Bathroom refits in Balerno's stone villas and cottages
Balerno still looks like a village. The council's appraisal picks out its traditional local buildings, the consistent use of traditional materials and the greenery around them.
Part of the village has been a conservation area since 1975. The appraisal has a section on Article 4 directions, which can limit changes to the outside of a house, so ask the council before you alter a window.
Windows and vents
A new bathroom needs a way to get damp air out. We agree where a vent or a window will go before we order anything, so the front of the house is left alone.
Room for a bath and a shower
Older villas can have rooms big enough for a bath and a separate shower. We measure first and show you the options.
New bathrooms in Balerno's mill conversions and interwar houses
Housebuilding in Balerno began in earnest after the First World War, and the village has kept growing since. The old Balerno Bank paper mill site has also been turned into housing.
Newer and converted homes can have different bathroom problems from the stone cottages. Pipe runs, floor build-ups and ceiling heights all differ, so we check each one.
Walk-in showers for bungalows
Replacing a bath with a level, low-threshold tray makes a single-storey home easier to live in as the years go on.
Converted buildings
Floors and walls in converted buildings may be built differently. We check what is behind the old bath before we confirm the plan.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Balerno
Do I need consent to change the outside of my house in the Balerno conservation area?
You may. The council's appraisal covers Article 4 directions, which can bring extra controls. Before you change windows or fit an outside vent, check with City of Edinburgh Council's planning team.
What if my house is on the site of the old paper mill?
The Balerno Bank paper mill site has been converted to housing. These homes can be built differently from older ones, so we look at floors and walls at the visit before we plan pipework.
Can you replace a bath with a shower in a Balerno bungalow?
Yes. A low-threshold tray with a fixed screen is a common choice. We check the floor and waste outlet at the visit and show you the layout.
Is Balerno different from nearby Currie when it comes to a new bathroom?
Balerno has a village core with a conservation area and a mix of villas and cottages. We treat each house on its own merits: we look at the room, the walls and the pipes before we quote.
