Roll-Top, Slipper or Standard Bath?
A roll-top bath is the classic choice, but it is heavy once it is full of water. We check the floor before we promise one. If it does not suit, a traditional-style bath with a panel looks close and weighs less.

Metro Tiles, Dado Rails and Period Taps
Small touches carry the look: white metro tiles, a dado rail, cross-head taps and a pedestal basin. We use modern fittings inside, so the taps and valves work smoothly.

Patterned Floors and Warm Radiators
A patterned tile floor is the quickest way to make a bathroom look period. A column radiator with a towel bar is the usual partner, and it warms the room.

Traditional Toilets That Flush Properly
A high-level cistern with a pull chain looks right in a tall Victorian room. A close-coupled toilet with a traditional shape is simpler and fits lower ceilings. Both flush reliably.

Traditional Bathrooms in Scottish Homes
Scotland has a lot of period housing, and a traditional bathroom often suits it best. We plan around the age of the building.
Victorian villas and terraces: High ceilings and tall windows suit a roll-top bath and a high-level cistern.
Tenement flats: We protect the shared stair and plan around the neighbours below.
1930s houses and bungalows: Art deco shapes and patterned tiles suit these homes well.
Old floors and walls: Old boards and plaster may need repair first. We show you before we carry on.

Traditional Bathroom Questions, Answered
Call nowCan you fit a roll-top bath upstairs?
Often, yes. A bath full of water is heavy, so we check the floor and joists first and tell you if it needs strengthening or a lighter bath.
Do traditional taps work well with modern showers?
Yes. Traditional-style fittings use modern valves. We choose a set that works with your hot water system.
What is a high-level cistern?
A cistern fixed high on the wall, with a pipe down to the toilet and a chain to flush it. It suits rooms with tall ceilings.
Will a traditional bathroom look dated?
Classic styles tend to age well. Keep the walls and floor simple and add character through taps, basin and bath.
Can I have a shower?
Yes. We can fit a traditional shower over a bath, or a walk-in shower with a metro-tiled wall.
Is a traditional bathroom harder to clean?
Not if you choose sensibly. Smooth metro tiles wipe clean, and we fit a pedestal basin with space to clean around it.
