Bathroom Ideas
Ideas for a roomy older-house bathroom, a bright family bathroom and a compact en-suite.
A bathroom for a larger older house near Joppa seafront
Many of the larger houses near the shore date from the early 19th century. Some on Joppa Road are listed buildings, such as the Category B terrace at number 5, built in the mid-19th century with sash windows and a slate roof.
Rooms in houses like these are often tall, with generous walls and floors that have been altered over the years. A bath and a separate shower can be possible where space allows.
Older seafront houses can have thick walls and deep window recesses, which are useful for built-in shelves. We note these at the visit and use them where they help.
Listed houses
Listing covers a whole building, so ask City of Edinburgh Council's planning team whether your plans need consent. We give you a clear drawing of the work to show them.
Floors and walls
We look at what is behind the old finishes before fixing the layout, since older floors and walls are rarely flat or square.
Family bathrooms in Joppa's mid-century streets
Further inland, much of Joppa was built up in the middle of the 20th century. Family houses and flats here tend to be easier to plan than the older seafront rooms.
Families usually want the same three things: storage, a good shower and a floor that copes with wet feet. All three can be done without moving the room around.
We are happy to work to a plan agreed with the council if your house is listed.
En-suite from a spare room
If a bedroom is bigger than you need, part of it can become an en-suite, subject to where the waste pipe can go.
Salt air and ventilation
Joppa sits on the Forth. A good extractor fan and steady heat help a bathroom dry out after each shower.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Joppa
My Joppa house is listed. Can I still have a new bathroom?
Often yes, but listing can apply inside as well as outside. Ask City of Edinburgh Council's planning team before work starts, and we will give you a clear plan to show them.
Can an older, larger bathroom have a bath and a separate shower?
If the room is wide enough, yes. We measure at the visit and show a plan with both.
Can you add an en-suite to a bedroom?
Usually, if there is space and a route for the waste pipe. We check both at the visit.
Do I need a building warrant?
It depends on the work. Moving drains or walls may need one from City of Edinburgh Council building standards. We tell you what we plan before you decide.
