Bathroom Ideas
Ideas for a narrow tenement bathroom, a shower room that frees floor space and a top-floor bathroom with a sloping ceiling.
Bathroom installation in a Polwarth tenement
Polwarth is mainly residential, and its typical street is a row of tenements. Many flats here back onto the Union Canal or have a shared back green.
Most work happens up a communal stair, so the first job is planning how the bath, tray and boards get to your door. We walk the route at the visit.
If your ceiling is high, there is room for a tall cupboard, a heated towel rail and good lighting in a narrow bathroom.
Stair and landing
We measure the turn of the stair and the width of your door before we choose a bath size.
Neighbours and waste pipes
In a shared building the waste may run through a neighbour's ceiling or a common wall. We note where it goes and tell you what to expect.
A shower room for a one-bedroom flat near Harrison Park
Harrison Park sits on the north bank of the canal and is commonly counted as part of Polwarth. A footpath behind the tenements at its north edge follows an old Caledonian Railway line.
Smaller flats around here often have one bathroom and no room to spare. A shower room can replace a seldom-used bath and make the whole flat feel less cramped.
If you share the building with other owners, tell your neighbours the dates once the quote is agreed.
Replacing the bath with a tray
A wide tray with a glass panel gives a proper shower, and the space left over can take a cupboard or a washing machine.
Rental flats
For landlords, wet wall panels and a plain tray are quick to wipe over between tenants.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Polwarth
How do you get a bath up a Polwarth tenement stair?
We check the stair, the landing and the door at the visit. If a full-length bath will not turn the corner, we suggest a shorter model or a tray.
Does the work disturb my neighbours?
Some noise is unavoidable in a shared building. We plan the access, tell you what to expect, and keep the stair tidy.
Can I have a shower and still keep my washing machine in the bathroom?
Often yes. Swapping the bath for a tray can release the space, and we show the layout on a plan.
Do I need permission from other owners?
Your title deeds or factor may have rules on shared pipes and floors. Check with them before work begins, and we can give you a clear description of what we plan.
