One-team bathroom installation across Melrose
Melrose has one of the most varied housing stocks in the Borders — Victorian villas around Dingleton and the High Street, smaller estates off Weirhill and traditional cottages up toward Eildon. Combine that with a high proportion of second homes and holiday lets and you get a town where reliable heating, sensible servicing intervals and quiet, efficient kit really matter.
Heat pump enquiries have risen sharply with the Eildons backdrop — owners want low-noise outdoor units that disappear into the garden. For bathroom installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
We design, supply and install full bathrooms across Melrose — 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.

Melrose questions worth answering first
Can you service Melrose holiday lets out of season?+
Yes — we deliberately keep autumn slots free for holiday-let owners across TD6. Booking in September or early October avoids a January breakdown when the property is fully booked.
Are heat pumps a good fit for Melrose villas?+
Often, yes — but the radiators usually need upsizing, and we'll model heat loss properly for the older stone walls. We'll be honest if a high-efficiency boiler is a better short-term fit.
What should be checked before quoting bathroom installations at this Melrose property?+
Several large Victorian villas have legacy gravity-fed systems we routinely upgrade to fully pumped, controlled setups. We confirm that point on site, then match the bathroom installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD6 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.
Will I be without a bathroom the whole time?+
Usually yes if it's the only one — but we plan around it, leave a working WC overnight where possible, and keep the disruption window as tight as we can.
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.

- Some narrow High Street access means we plan boiler deliveries and skip placement carefully.
- Several large Victorian villas have legacy gravity-fed systems we routinely upgrade to fully pumped, controlled setups.
- Holiday-let owners regularly book annual servicing well in advance to avoid a peak-season breakdown.
