Bathroom Ideas
Ideas for a single-storey bathroom with a walk-in shower, a family semi bathroom and a smaller second room.
A new bathroom for a Silverknowes bungalow
Silverknowes has more than 2,000 homes, from bungalows to semi-detached houses. Building started in 1936 on the west side of Silverknowes Road, stopped for the war and carried on in 1952 on the east side.
A bungalow has no stairs to carry things up, and the bathroom is usually next to the hall. That keeps the job simple and leaves more of the budget for the room itself.
Plenty of owners in an area like this plan to stay put for the long term. That makes it worth choosing a bathroom that will still suit you in ten or twenty years.
Walk-in showers on one level
A flush or low-step shower is easy to fit on a single floor, and it will still suit you if you find steps harder later.
Pipes under the floor
In a bungalow the waste often runs under the floor or out through an outside wall. We find the route at the visit and show it on the plan.
Family bathroom installation in a Silverknowes semi
The estate began as a mix of private and council housing. Most council houses were bought by their tenants under Right to Buy in the 1980s, so the area is now mainly owner-occupied.
That means many bathrooms here have been in place for decades, or were fitted at different times by different owners. A fresh plan from the walls out gives a more even result.
Grab rails can be added behind the wall panel at the start, even if you do not need them yet.
Bath, shower or both
In a family semi, a shower bath with a screen usually covers everyone. If there is an upstairs and a downstairs room, you can make one a shower room.
Storage that fits
A recessed niche, a deep vanity and a tall cupboard keep towels and bottles off the bath edge.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Silverknowes
Can a Silverknowes bungalow bathroom have a level-access shower?
Often yes. It depends on the floor and where the waste can run, and we check both at the visit.
I bought my house from the council. Can I change the bathroom?
If you own the house, the bathroom is yours to plan. We measure up, check the room and give you a written quote.
Can you swap a bath for a shower in a semi?
Yes. If it is your only bathroom, think about whether you will miss the bath. We can show a shower bath as a middle option.
Do I need a building warrant for a new bathroom?
Not always. If drains or walls move you may need one from City of Edinburgh Council's building standards team, and we flag it early.
