Fitted Bathrooms Peterhead

Bathroom Fitting in Peterhead's Granite Houses

Peterhead is a red granite town. North Street has two-storey granite homes from the 1800s, and the older houses near the harbour are often small inside. Thick walls decide where pipes and fans can run.

• Small rooms: Many old bathrooms were squeezed into a spare room. A shower bath or walk-in shower with a wall-hung toilet can give floor space back. See our small bathroom ideas.

• Thick granite walls: Granite does not cut like brick. We check where the soil pipe and the extractor can go before we plan the layout.

• Steep, narrow stairs: Dormer-windowed fisher houses on streets like Great Stuart Street have tight stairs. We plan how new fittings go up and the old ones come down.

• Damp on cold walls: A good fan and fitted wall panels keep a bathroom on an outside granite wall dry.

Areas this suits: Seagate, Queen Street, North Street, Great Stuart Street and South Bay.

Bathrooms for Peterhead's Oil-Era Estates and New Homes

Peterhead grew fast from the 1970s as a service centre for North Sea oil. Waterside and the Meethill and Clerkhill areas are mostly family houses with standard bathrooms, and new homes have gone up since.

• Bath to walk-in shower: A common change here. It makes the room easier and safer to step into.

• Standard layouts: Regular rooms usually let us keep the toilet and basin where they are, which keeps the job simple.

• Storage for families: Drawers under the basin and a built-in shelf in the shower stop towels and bottles piling up.

• En-suites in newer homes: Builder-fitted en-suites are small. We can replace the suite and use the space better.
