Complete bathroom projects in Dunbar
Dunbar mixes historic harbour-side properties, Victorian villas along the seafront and modern estates inland. The town sits in one of the sunniest, driest pockets in Scotland but still gets serious easterly exposure on the coast — which changes how outdoor pipework, flue terminations and heat-pump units need to be specified.
Older Victorian villas often have legacy gravity systems we upgrade to fully pumped. For bathroom installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
We design, supply and install full bathrooms across Dunbar — wet rooms, en-suites, walk-in showers, freestanding baths and full family bathroom refits. One project-managed team handles strip-out, plumbing, electrics, plastering and tiling, so you only ever deal with us. No three different trades calling at different times, no gaps in the schedule, no finger-pointing if something doesn't line up. This page is specifically for landlords who need to plan a complete, project-managed bathroom rather than coordinate separate trades.

Before you book: local practical answers
Should harbour-side Dunbar properties spec anything special?+
Yes — corrosion-resistant flue terminations and external pipework are well worth specifying on harbour-side EH42 properties. We do this as standard.
Do you cover Dunbar even though it's a fair drive from Kelso?+
Yes — we run dedicated East Lothian days that take in Dunbar, so EH42 work is scheduled efficiently rather than as a one-off long trip.
What should be checked before quoting bathroom installations at this Dunbar property?+
Modern inland estates are gas-fed and combi-friendly. We confirm that point on site, then match the bathroom installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every EH42 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at landlords?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise landlords who need to plan a complete, project-managed bathroom rather than coordinate separate trades. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
How long does a full bathroom take?+
A typical full refit takes 7–10 working days from strip-out to finish. Wet rooms and en-suites may take a little longer depending on tile choice, drainage runs and any structural changes.
Do you supply the bathroom or do I buy it?+
Either works — we can supply through trade accounts at a discount, or fit a bathroom you've sourced yourself. We're transparent on both routes inside the written quote.

Start with the property, not a stock bathroom installations quote
Tell us the building type, the issue and your EH42 address. We will confirm whether a survey, diagnostic visit or urgent response is the useful next step.
Dunbar is not being treated as an interchangeable location page. The recommendation starts with older victorian villas often have legacy gravity systems we upgrade to fully pumped. It then combines bathroom installations, the needs of landlords, access via the A1, and nearby coverage toward Belhaven and West Barns.
