Bathroom Ideas
Family bathrooms, cottage shower rooms and bright everyday bathrooms for the houses of Davidson's Mains.
Bathroom installation for Davidson's Mains villas
Villas were built here after the railway arrived in 1894, so many are well over a century old. Rooms are often large enough to hold a separate bath and shower, but the original pipework and floors may be showing their age.
We look at the floor, the soil pipe and the walls before we agree a layout with you.
A second basin or a proper shower
Where the room is big enough, we can add a double basin or a walk-in shower and keep the bath.
Old pipes and tired floors
We check the route of the pipes and the condition of the boards, so the new suite is not sitting on a problem.
Shower rooms and small bathrooms for village cottages
The old village centre has modest cottages strung along its main east-west road. Bathrooms in homes like these tend to be small, and sometimes tucked under a sloping ceiling or behind the kitchen.
A small room can still work hard. Wall-hung units, a slim vanity and a shower in place of a bath often free up the floor.
Bath-to-shower change
Swapping a bath for a level-entry shower gives you room for a tall cupboard or a washing machine.
Storage without clutter
A recessed shelf in the shower and a mirror cabinet over the basin keep the surfaces clear.
Check the conservation area boundary before changing outside walls
The Barnton Avenue conservation area, designated in 1997, sits just west of Davidson's Mains. The council's appraisal says Davidson's Mains lies closely adjacent to it.
We do not assume your street is inside or outside it. Look at a new window, vent or soil pipe on an outside wall and we help you check with the council first.
Vents and extractor ducts
A new duct through an outside wall is the usual question. We mark it on the plan.
Windows
Changing a bathroom window can need a check, so we raise it before you order anything.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Davidson's Mains
Can you add a second bathroom to a Davidson's Mains villa?
Often, if there is a spare room or a large landing and a sensible route for the waste pipe. A building warrant from City of Edinburgh Council may be needed for a brand new bathroom. We tell you what to ask the council before you commit.
My village cottage bathroom is very small. What can you do?
Usually plenty. A shower instead of a bath, a wall-hung toilet and a slim vanity can clear a lot of floor. We measure the room first and show you the layout on paper.
Is Davidson's Mains in a conservation area?
The Barnton Avenue conservation area sits just next to it, but the council's appraisal describes Davidson's Mains as adjacent, not inside. Your street may differ, so we suggest checking the boundary map with the council if you plan outside changes.
We only have one bathroom. How do we manage during the work?
We agree the plan with you before we start and tell you when the toilet and water are going to be off. It is worth thinking early about where you will wash while the room is out of use.
