Small flat bathroom with a short bath, shower screen and towel rail

Tenement bathroom fitting for Comely Bank flats

Much of Comely Bank is four-storey tenement housing. It was developed from 1894, paused during the First World War, and finished in the 1930s.

A bathroom in a flat like this is usually small and has shared walls and pipework around it. We plan the work so that it is tidy for the stair and for the neighbours.

Top-floor and stair access

Everything has to come up the common stair. We agree delivery, protection and where waste goes before starting.

Shared pipes and neighbours

If the stack is shared, we flag it early so you can let neighbours and the factor know.

Townhouse bathroom with a bath, washstand and panelled walls

Bathrooms for Comely Bank's Georgian terrace and townhouses

Comely Bank also has a Georgian terrace of town houses, designed by Thomas Brown in 1817. Bathrooms in houses of this age were fitted into rooms that were never meant for them.

Walls, floors and pipe runs can be uneven. We check the room carefully and fit the new suite to suit it.

Fit the room, not the catalogue

Odd corners and sloping ceilings need a vanity or shower made to fit, not a stock size.

Ask about listing first

If your house is listed, ask the council before changing anything. We note anything that might need a check.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Comely Bank

Can you fit a bathroom in a top-floor Comely Bank tenement flat?

Yes. We work out the way up the stair, look after the shared areas and agree where waste is kept. It helps to let neighbours know the dates once they are set.

My Comely Bank bathroom is tiny. Can it have a shower and storage?

Usually. A short bath with a screen, or a tray with a glass panel, plus a wall-hung basin and a mirror cabinet, makes room. We measure first and show a layout.

Who should I tell before starting work in a tenement?

Your neighbours on the stair and any factor or owners' group. If the bathroom shares a stack, tell them before the day. We can give you a plain list of what will happen on site.

Do I need a building warrant for a bathroom in a flat?

Small jobs can be exempt, but a new bathroom or moved drains might not be. City of Edinburgh Council Building Standards decides. We tell you what to ask once we have seen the room.
