A bathroom refurbishment involves far more than fitting a new suite. The plumbing, waterproofing, surfaces, electrical work, ventilation, layout and finishing all need to happen in the right order. Heat Tech Scotland provides bathroom installation and refurbishment across Edinburgh and the Lothians, helping homeowners manage the project from initial planning through to the finished room.
We can help with full bathroom renovations, shower rooms, ensuites and replacement bathroom installations. The scope can include strip-out of the existing room, plumbing alterations, new sanitaryware, shower installation, tiling, flooring, joinery and coordination of required electrical work. The exact package is agreed during quotation so you know which elements Heat Tech Scotland is supplying and managing.
Baths and bath/shower combinations
Shower trays, enclosures and shower systems
Toilets, concealed cisterns and wall-hung options where suitable
Basins, vanity units and taps
Radiators and heated towel rails
Pipework alterations and waste connections
Bathroom furniture and storage elements within the agreed project scope
Extractor fans, lighting and electrical accessories through appropriately qualified trades
Wall and floor finishes through the coordinated installation team
We start with the room, your priorities and the practical constraints. We look at the existing plumbing, drainage, ventilation, heating and layout, then discuss whether you want to retain the basic arrangement or make larger changes.
The quotation should clearly identify labour, supplied products, allowances, customer-supplied items and any work that is excluded. This is particularly important with bathrooms, where product choices can change the price significantly.
The existing fittings are removed as agreed and the underlying area is inspected. Plumbing and other first-fix changes are completed before surfaces are closed. If hidden defects such as damaged floors or previous leaks are found, we explain the options before additional work proceeds.
The bathroom is prepared for the selected finishes, then the sanitaryware, shower, taps, furniture and accessories are installed in the correct sequence. Final sealing, testing, snagging and cleaning are completed before handover.
Where space is limited, a well-planned shower room or ensuite can provide a practical upgrade without wasting floor area. We can advise on shower type, enclosure size, basin and WC layout and the plumbing implications. Existing shower faults that do not require a full refurbishment can be handled through our shower repair and replacement service.
Edinburgh and the surrounding areas include everything from traditional tenement bathrooms and compact ensuites to larger family homes. The best design works with the available space, drainage routes, ventilation and water system rather than forcing a catalogue layout into a room where it does not suit. Our role is to highlight these practical issues early so the finished bathroom looks good and works properly.
Clear answers to common questions about bathroom installations, refurbishments and project planning.
Heat Tech Scotland can manage the agreed bathroom project and coordinate the required trades. The quotation should state exactly what is included.
Often yes, but moving fixtures can require significant drainage and pipework changes. We assess the feasibility during the survey and explain the implications before the layout is finalised.
This depends on whether the property has another bathroom and the scope of the work. We plan the sequence to minimise disruption, but full refurbishments inevitably involve periods where fittings are unavailable.
Potentially. If you are supplying products, we recommend confirming specifications before ordering so the sizes, connections and compatibility are suitable. Responsibility for damaged or incorrect customer-supplied items should be clear in the project terms.
The existing site promotes wet-room capability. Keep this claim only if the team genuinely provides the full waterproofing and installation system required. If so, include it in the service scope and gallery.
Only add finance wording once Heat Tech Scotland confirms an active, compliant finance arrangement and supplies the required regulatory wording. The rebuild should not make a generic finance claim without this.
