Compact bathroom with a bath, shower screen and a small white vanity

A new bathroom for a Pilton flat or maisonette

West Pilton was built mostly by the council between the 1930s and 1960s. The streets are full of maisonettes and three-storey blocks of flats, and most of these homes are now privately owned.

Owners tend to find the same things on the first day: a small room, an old bath and walls that were never tiled well. That is a good starting point, because a plain room is easy to measure and plan.

Whether it is a maisonette or a block flat, we price what we see in the room. The quote lists the suite, the walls, the floor and the labour, so you can compare it line by line.

Upstairs maisonette bathrooms

Where the bathroom sits above the kitchen or hall, we check which way the floor boards run before settling where the waste pipe goes.

Flats in three-storey blocks

In a three-storey block, bath, tray and boards all come up a shared stair. We look at the turns and the door widths at the visit so nothing is a surprise on fitting day.

Shower rooms for East Pilton's four-in-a-block homes

East Pilton was laid out in the 1930s on former farmland. The original estate is mostly four-in-a-block flatted villas, with four homes to a block.

Flats like these are a neat fit for a shower room. Taking out the bath and putting in a wide tray can leave space for a tall cupboard or a washing machine.

Newer streets on the former Bruce Peebles works site are a different job again, closer to a modern flat. We talk through the differences at the visit.

Flats above other flats

If you own an upstairs flat, a pipe run through the floor below is a conversation to have early. We show you where the waste will go on the plan.

Walls that stay dry

Wet wall panels in the shower zone mean fewer grout lines and a quicker clean-down.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Pilton

Can you fit a bathroom in a Pilton maisonette?

Yes. We check the floor, the stair and the pipe routes at the visit, then give you a written quote.

I own the upstairs flat in a four-in-a-block. Does that change the work?

It can affect how the waste pipe is routed, so we look at it first. We show you where each pipe will run before you agree to anything.

Will a bath fit in a small Pilton flat bathroom?

Often yes, with a shorter bath and a fixed screen. If space is very tight, a shower room may use the floor better.

Do I need a building warrant for a new bathroom?

That depends on the changes. Moving drains or altering walls may need one, so ask City of Edinburgh Council's building standards team. We tell you what we plan at the visit.
