Bathroom Installation in 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.

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.

Travel from our Kelso base: 25 minutes via the A6091.

Local considerations in Melrose

  • Heat pump enquiries have risen sharply with the Eildons backdrop — owners want low-noise outdoor units that disappear into the garden.
  • 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.

What we'll do for you

  • Full design & supply through trade accounts — usually beats high-street showroom pricing.
  • Tiling, electrics and plastering all handled in-house or by long-standing trusted trades.
  • Typical full refit completed in 7–10 working days, en-suites in 5–7.
  • Daily clean-down, dust-sheets and floor protection — we treat your home properly.
  • Waterproof tanking on every wet room and walk-in shower as standard.
  • All electrical work Part P certified, all plumbing under our Gas Safe / WIAPS cover.

Melrose Bathroom Installations FAQs

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.
