Bathroom Ideas
Ideas for a small rear bathroom, a step-free walk-in shower, and a bright room with a traditional feel.
Bathrooms in Newtongrange miners' cottages: working with rear extensions
Newtongrange was built for the Lady Victoria Colliery. The long rows of brick cottages, in blocks of two, four or six, were first built with two rooms and a scullery. Kitchens and bathrooms came later, in rear extensions added between the wars.
That means your bathroom may sit in a small back room, with the drain at the rear. The room is likely to be narrow, so we look at the door swing, the window and how far the toilet sits from the wall before we choose a shower tray or a bath.
Rear drainage
With the room at the back, the waste run is often short. We still trace it before agreeing the layout.
Back lanes
The rows have service lanes behind the houses. We ask which route suits deliveries and the carry-in.
Conservation area cottages: windows, vents and what shows at the front
The Newtongrange Conservation Area was designated in 1981 and covers First to Fourth Street and parts of Main Street and Lingerwood Road. The appraisal describes timber sash and case windows, slate roofs, and harled rear walls.
The front of the house is what the appraisal values most. Bathroom work happens behind it, but anything that shows, such as a vent or a replacement window, is worth checking with the council.
Outlets at the back
We plan extractors and flues to rear walls where possible.
Sash windows
If your bathroom window is original, we plan around keeping it and add a privacy film or blind.
Single-storey cottages and a step-free shower
Miners' cottages in the conservation area were single storey, and houses for officials had two. A single-storey home has no stairs between the bedroom and the bathroom.
That helps if you want a shower you can step into.
Walk-in shower
A low-level tray or a wet room floor, a seat and grab rails can replace a high-sided bath.
Floor level
The floor build-up depends on the drain. We check it at the visit.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Newtongrange
Can you fit a bathroom in a miners' cottage in Newtongrange?
Yes. At the visit the room is measured, the floor and drain are looked at, and layouts are shown. In a small rear room, a tray in place of the bath often gives the most space.
Is my Newtongrange street in the conservation area?
The conservation area covers First to Fourth Street and parts of Main Street and Lingerwood Road. Check your address with Midlothian Council and ask before changing anything visible from outside.
I rent my cottage. Can you still fit a new bathroom?
Get your landlord's written consent first. When you have it, we can measure up and send a written quote.
Can I have a step-free shower in a single-storey cottage?
Usually, yes. It depends on the floor and the drain, so we check both at the visit. A low tray or a level wet room floor, with a seat and grab rails if you want them, is the usual answer.
