Compact bathroom with a shower bath, vanity drawers and a recessed shelf

Bathroom fitting in Mayfield's 1950s-built homes

Mayfield was built in the 1950s as overspill housing for colliery workers from Newtongrange and Easthouses, and for other essential workers. The homes are modest, laid out around shared green space.

Bathrooms of that period are usually practical rather than generous, so storage and the shower layout matter. We measure the room and the door swing, and look at whether the radiator, the toilet or the window position is limiting the layout. Moving a radiator is often easier than moving a toilet. If the room has a window over the bath, we also look at whether a shower will need a different screen or a waterproof blind.

Storage in a small room

A vanity with drawers, a recessed niche in the shower and a slim wall cabinet can add shelf space without taking floor space.

Where the van parks

With homes grouped around shared greens, we agree where we can park and how materials reach the door.

Easthouses and the older rows next to Mayfield

Easthouses was built in the 1920s for miners and grew in the 1950s, and Mayfield's growth largely took it in. Older and newer homes now sit side by side.

In a mixed area we do not assume a house type. We check the pipework and floors for each home. A house that has been altered over the years may have an extension, a boxed-in pipe or a different floor level in the bathroom, and all of those affect the quote.

Different eras, different plumbing

Pipes can vary from room to room in an older house. We note what runs where before we price the work.

Replacing a bath with a shower

Lift out the bath, put in a tray and the floor opens up. The toilet and basin often stay where they are.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Mayfield

Can you fit a new bathroom in a 1950s Mayfield house?

Yes. We measure, check the floor and the drain, and show you layouts. Compact rooms usually gain most from storage and a well-placed shower. If the bath is the only one in the house, we talk through whether a shower bath is a better choice than a tray.

Do you cover Easthouses as well as Mayfield?

Easthouses is part of the same built-up area as Mayfield, and both are within our Edinburgh coverage. Phone 0131 357 3869 and we will confirm cover for your street. The office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Do I need building approval for a bathroom in Mayfield?

Changes to drainage or ventilation can fall under building standards. Midlothian Council's building standards team is the place to check what applies to your home.

Is it worth fitting wall panels instead of tiles?

Fewer joints with panels means less to clean, which suits a busy house. Tiles offer wider colour choice. We bring samples of both.
