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.
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.
Bathroom layouts in Melrose tend to fall into a few clear patterns — narrow Victorian boxrooms, mid-century three-pieces with airing cupboards, and roomier modern en-suites. We've worked through all of them across TD6, so we know which walls are typically lath-and-plaster, where the soil stack is likely to run, and how to plan a wet room without surprises mid-project.
We cover every Melrose postcode for bathroom installations. Pick your neighbourhood for locally-specific notes on housing stock, access and the kinds of jobs we actually do there.
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.
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.
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.
