Bathroom Ideas
Ideas for a roomy villa bathroom with a bath and a separate shower, plus compact layouts for cottage rooms.
A period bathroom for a Colinton villa
Colinton Road has a number of Victorian and Edwardian villas. Rooms in houses like these can be bigger than in a modern semi, so a bath and a separate shower may both fit.
The question is usually how to keep what suits the house and replace what has worn out. We help you choose between a traditional look and a plainer, modern finish.
Bath and shower together
If the room is large enough, we can plan a bath and a walk-in shower side by side, with a vanity that holds towels.
Older pipes and floors
Villas have been altered many times. Pricing comes after we have looked at the floor, the waste route and the pipework.
Small cottage bathrooms and conservation area rules in Colinton
Near the village there are early 1900s Arts and Crafts cottages designed by Robert Lorimer. Colinton has been a conservation area since October 1977, and the council revised its character appraisal in 2020.
Rooms in cottages are often small and low. We plan the layout around the walls, the window and the door swing, not around a standard design.
Fitting more into less
A shorter bath, a corner basin or a shower with a sliding door can give you space without making the room feel crowded.
Changes you can see from outside
Windows and vents on the front of a house can need the council's say. Tell us early and we plan around it.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Colinton
Can a Colinton villa bathroom have both a bath and a walk-in shower?
Often, yes. Villa rooms can be big enough for both. We measure at the visit and show you a plan before you decide.
Do I need permission for a bathroom in the Colinton conservation area?
Work inside is normally not affected. The council may have a say over a new window or an outside vent, so ask City of Edinburgh Council's planning team. We plan the position with you.
Can you work in a house with a tight stair and narrow hall?
Yes. We check the route at the visit, from the front door to the bathroom, and plan how the bath, tray and boards come in.
Do you handle Colinton cottages as well as bigger villas?
Yes. Smaller rooms are common in cottages, and our small bathroom layouts are built for them.
