The service
A bathroom you'll be happy to use every day
Bathroom fitting covers removing your old bathroom and installing a new one: toilet, basin, bath or shower, taps, pipework and the finishing touches that make it look right. It can also include converting a bath to a walk-in shower, or upgrading a shower to a stronger, more reliable setup.
This service is for homeowners renovating a dated bathroom, people adapting a bathroom for easier access, and landlords updating rental properties.
Because a bathroom combines plumbing, hot water and often heating, it pays to use someone who understands all three. Ian is water regulations qualified, qualified to install and maintain unvented hot water cylinders, and has 25 years' experience.
On every job we aim to leave exemplary work behind us, the kind of finish we'd be happy to have in our own homes. As Dionne M. put it: "Excellent service, work done in bathroom to very high standards."
If it's left
What goes wrong with a poorly fitted bathroom
A bathroom that is badly fitted often looks fine on day one, but problems appear later: leaks behind tiles, poor drainage, a shower with weak pressure, or sealant that fails and lets water into floors and walls.
Fixing these problems usually means removing new tiles and fittings, costing far more than getting it right first time.
Common mistakes we see
- Choosing a shower without checking it suits the hot water system.
- Not planning pipework and drainage before tiling.
- Skipping proper waterproofing around showers.
- Choosing on the lowest price rather than quality of finish.
- Not agreeing what is included in the quote.

In detail
Planning your new bathroom
Things to consider before your bathroom installation starts.
Baths, showers and wet areas
Some households want a bath, others a large walk-in shower. Converting a bath to a shower can make a small bathroom feel bigger and easier to use, but it needs proper waterproofing and drainage.
Matching the shower to your hot water
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders deliver mains-pressure hot water, suiting mixer showers. Gravity-fed systems may need a pump. Electric showers run separately from the boiler. Ian will advise on what works with your system.
Pipework and heating
A new bathroom is a good time to move pipework, add a heated towel rail, or upgrade a cylinder. Doing it now avoids disturbing the new finish later.
Landlord bathrooms
For rental properties, durable fittings and straightforward layouts reduce maintenance. Ian can also take care of gas safety checks, from £70.
Accessible bathrooms
For people who find getting in and out of a bath difficult, a level or low-access shower can make daily life easier and safer. Grab rails, comfort-height toilets and thermostatic showers can also help. Ian will talk through the layout so the bathroom works for you now and in the years ahead.
Small bathrooms and en-suites
Many Fife homes have compact bathrooms. Wall-hung basins, concealed cisterns and a well-placed shower can make a small room feel bigger. Thoughtful pipework planning keeps everything hidden and easy to maintain.
Choosing fittings that last
Taps, valves and showers vary widely in quality. Fittings with good parts availability are easier to repair in years to come. Ian can share what he's seen hold up well over 25 years of fitting and repairing bathrooms.
Keeping disruption to a minimum
A bathroom refit means time without that room. Ian will explain the order of work, when the water will be off, and how to keep a toilet available where possible, so you know what to expect each day.
What to have ready before work starts
Having your suite, tiles and fittings chosen early keeps the project moving. Clear the bathroom of toiletries and towels, and let Ian know about any access issues, such as parking or stairs. Agreeing the layout and what's included in the quote before work begins avoids misunderstandings later.
Ventilation and condensation
Bathrooms produce a lot of moisture. Without good ventilation, condensation can lead to mould on ceilings and around windows. Planning an extractor fan, a heated towel rail and good sealing into your new bathroom helps keep it dry and looking new for longer.
Homeowners and landlords
Homeowners often want a bathroom that reflects their style and suits their household. Landlords usually prioritise durable, easy-to-clean finishes and fittings that can be repaired easily. Ian will help you choose what fits your goals and your budget.
Showers, trays and enclosures
Shower trays come in many sizes, from compact quadrants to large walk-in trays. Enclosures can be full doors, sliding screens or a single fixed glass panel. The right choice depends on the space, how the room is used and how easy you want it to keep clean. Ian will help you plan a layout that gives you the most usable space without compromising on drainage or water tightness.
How bathroom quotes work
Ian will visit, look at the space and discuss the bathroom you want. Your free, no-obligation quote will set out what's included, such as removal of the old suite, pipework, fitting and finishing. Agreeing the details up front means no hidden costs and no surprises halfway through the job.
