Bathroom fitters in Edinburgh: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners:

If you own your home, you’re responsible for organising and paying for bathroom refurbishments. Always get written quotes, clarify what’s included, and check credentials before giving the go-ahead. Some major works (like altering drainage or structural walls) may need Building Regulations approval.

Renters:

If something breaks, your first stop is your landlord or letting agent. They’re responsible for bathroom repairs and maintenance, including issues like a leaking toilet or faulty extractor fan.

Planning changes yourself? You’ll need written permission. Some landlords may handle the job directly - others might ask you to source quotes and sign off the spend.
