Bathroom Ideas
Photos for a tiled older-house bathroom, a bath-to-shower swap and a family room with storage space.
New bathroom installation in Loanhead's older cottages and villas
Loanhead grew around coal, shale and paper mills. The Clerks of Penicuik built miners' houses here in 1736, and the burgh years from 1884 brought villas. Houses that old were not designed with a bathroom, so the one you have was added or squeezed in later.
We check what is under the floor and behind the walls before we promise a layout. If the toilet has to move, we tell you what that adds. If it can stay where it is, we show you a plan that keeps it there, so you can compare the two.
Floors and waste routes
Old floors can be uneven, and the joists may run the wrong way for a new waste pipe. We find that out at the visit and not on the day.
Walls that are not square
Walls in older houses often lean or bow. We plan the tiling and the shower screen around the real measurements.
Shower rooms and bath-to-shower swaps for Loanhead family homes
Not every Loanhead home is a cottage. Bilston Glen colliery was sunk in the 1950s and worked until 1989, and the town's homes come from more than one era.
In a standard family bathroom the bath, toilet and basin often sit in one run. That keeps the pipework simple and leaves more of the budget for the finish. If your house also has an en-suite off the main bedroom, we can plan both rooms together so the work is done in one go.
Shower bath or walk-in shower
If children still need a bath, a shower bath with a straight screen gives adults a proper shower too. If not, a tray and screen can replace the bath.
Panels or tiles
Wall panels have few joints and wipe clean. Tiles offer more colours. We show both at the visit.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Loanhead
Can you fit a new bathroom in an old mining-era house in Loanhead?
Yes. At the home visit we check the floors, walls and drainage. If the layout needs more work than a like-for-like swap, the written quote says so. A like-for-like swap is the simplest route, and moving fittings is where the work grows.
Do I need council approval to fit a bathroom in Loanhead?
Work inside the room is often straightforward, but changes to drainage or ventilation can be covered by building standards. For what applies to your address, ask Midlothian Council's building standards team.
Do you cover Bilston and Straiton as well as Loanhead?
Loanhead and the nearby villages are within our area, which takes in Edinburgh and its surroundings. Call 0131 357 3869 and give us your postcode.
Can a bath be swapped for a shower without moving the toilet?
Often, yes. Remove the bath and fit a tray or walk-in shower, and the toilet and basin usually stay put, which keeps the waste work down. We confirm it when we measure.
