Bathroom Ideas
Ideas for a small cottage-flat bathroom, a modern family bathroom and a shower room for a newer home.
New bathrooms for Sighthill's cottage flats
Southern Sighthill is mostly cottage flats, laid out four to a block and built in the late 1940s. Bathrooms in homes of that age are usually small and square.
The good news is that the shape is simple. With the right bath or tray, a slim vanity and a shelf above the toilet, a small square room can hold everything it needs.
Cottage flats of this type were built in blocks of four, so a noisy job is worth mentioning to the neighbours. We keep the work tidy and tell you the plan for each day.
Making the floor space work
A shower tray in place of a full-length bath often releases room for a washing machine or a tall cupboard.
Pipework from the 1940s
In homes this age we look at the pipe material and the waste route during the visit, and we say what we find before you decide.
Refitting a bathroom in a newer Sighthill home
The tower blocks that stood in northern Sighthill came down between 2008 and 2011. Keepmoat's Broomview development, approved in 2016, was completed by 2020.
Homes that new rarely need pipes moved. Most owners want a better shower, storage that fits and surfaces that are easy to keep clean.
Anything we find behind the old finishes is shown to you before we go on.
Keeping the layout
With the plumbing in a good position, we can swap the suite and finishes without major changes to walls or floors.
Ventilation
Newer homes are fairly airtight, so we check the extractor fan and its route outside when we plan the room.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Sighthill
Can a small cottage-flat bathroom in Sighthill have a shower?
Yes. A tray with a glass door or a shower over a bath both fit in a small room, and we draw them up at the visit.
Do you refit bathrooms in the newer Broomview homes?
Yes. We can fit a new suite, shower and wall finish, usually without moving the existing pipes.
Does the age of the pipework matter?
It can. In 1940s homes we look at the pipe type and the waste run during the visit and tell you what we see.
Who gives the building warrant if I need one?
City of Edinburgh Council's building standards team handles warrants. Many bathroom swaps do not need one, and we say if yours might.
