Our Bathroom Design Process

Our typical bathroom refurbishment follows a sequential order of work for efficiency. We document all work and obtain the necessary certifications as part of the refurbishment process, and plan for potential issues such as hidden pipework or moisture barriers during renovations. We have plumbers and electricians we consult throughout the design process.

Consultation: A comprehensive bathroom survey includes precise measurements and accounts for the property's existing infrastructure.
Design services: Bathrooms can be designed in modern or traditional styles. We consider your preferences.
Local compliance: We check the relevant Scottish building standards and safety requirements for electrical and plumbing work in bathrooms.
Advice and Guidance: Our team offers honest and practical advice on design choices to suit your space, preferences and requirements.
Fixtures and fittings: Our bathroom refurbs include fixtures and fittings from top European brands.
Quotes and budgeting: We provide a clear quote for your bathroom refurbishment, covering materials, installation and rubbish disposal.
Prep work: We assess the preparation needed and organise the work before installation begins.
Installation: Our in-house team manages the installation, bringing your agreed bathroom design to life.
Final Touches: Carefully chosen details give your refurbished bathroom a polished, coordinated look.
Checks: A final inspection confirms that the work is complete, compliant and everything functions as it should.

Bathroom Installers In The Glasgow Area

Forbes Bathrooms specialises in bathroom refurbishments across Glasgow, including the Southside, West End and surrounding areas. Standard bathroom refurbishments rarely require planning permission in Glasgow, but they still require knowledge of local building regulations. Any planning permission depends on the property and the work involved.

Many Glasgow properties are historic tenements with unique plumbing quirks that can affect bathroom refurbishments. Adequate ventilation is also important for controlling moisture and reducing the risk of mould. Our experience working in the area helps us account for these requirements when planning your renovation.

FAQs About Our Bathroom Refurbishments

Here’s a bit more clarity on our bathroom refurbishments.

How do you budget for a bathroom refurbishment?

Start with a clear quote covering materials and installation. Set aside an additional 10% as a contingency fund for unexpected issues during the refurbishment. This gives you room in your budget to deal with problems uncovered once work begins.

How do I design my bathroom refurbishment?

Think about what works in your current bathroom and what you’d like to change. We offer a visual design service if you’d like help developing your ideas, though this is entirely optional. Advanced 3D design tools help you picture bathroom layouts before work begins.

Our local design partner also gives you access to exclusive high-end European brands that other installers can’t access.

How much does a standard bathroom renovation cost?

The cost depends on the size of your bathroom, your chosen fittings and the work required. High-end bathroom renovations cost between £9,500 and £12,000. A standard renovation may cost less, so a quote will help you budget for your particular project.

What to do if my bathroom has no window?

A good extraction system is essential in bathrooms to control condensation and mould. Without a window, an extractor fan carries moist air outside, helping the room dry after a bath or shower. Proper waterproofing is also crucial in wet areas of a bathroom, protecting walls and floors from the moisture that builds up around baths and showers.

Is LVT flooring good for a bathroom refurbishment?

Yes, waterproof LVT click flooring is easy to clean, making it a practical choice for bathrooms. We source high-quality materials from trusted suppliers. Our team can help you choose a product suitable for bathroom use, as water resistance and installation requirements vary between ranges.

What are wetwall bathrooms?

Wetwall bathrooms use wall panels instead of tiles, offering a cost-effective way to finish your bathroom walls. There are several panel options available:

PVC wetwall panels: One option for creating a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.
Multipanel: Another option for wetwall installations, with a choice of decorative finishes.

Electrical work in bathrooms must comply with the relevant safety requirements because of the moisture present. This applies whether you choose wall panels or tiles.
