General Questions
Who is Home Decor Zone?
Home Decor Zone is a family-run renovation company based in Glasgow with over 13 years of experience. We specialise in bathroom installations, kitchen fitting, full property refurbishments, plastering, tiling, and general home improvements. We are independently verified on MyBuilder (4.8★, 228 reviews) and Checkatrade (9.55/10, 29 reviews).
Are you fully insured?
Yes, Home Decor Zone carries full Public Liability Insurance on every project we undertake. This protects both our team and your property. Insurance documentation is available on request before any work begins. We would never work in your home without appropriate cover in place.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. One of the key differences between Home Decor Zone and many other renovation companies is that we work exclusively with our own in-house team. We do not subcontract work to unknown third parties. Every tradesperson working on your home is part of our vetted, experienced team — people we work with regularly and trust completely.
Do you work throughout Glasgow?
Yes, we cover all areas of Glasgow and the wider West of Scotland, including Partick, Shawlands, Bearsden, Newton Mearns, Giffnock, Clarkston, East Kilbride, Paisley, Rutherglen, and more. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, call us on +44 7568 582337 and we’ll confirm right away.
How do I get a quote?
Getting a quote from us is easy. You can call us on +44 7568 582337, send us a message via our Contact page, or reach out via WhatsApp. We’ll arrange a convenient time to visit your property, discuss your requirements in detail, and provide a written estimate within a few working days. Our quotes are transparent, itemised, and completely free with no obligation.
Bathroom Renovation Questions
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
The timeline depends on the scope of work. A standard full bathroom refit — including removal of old fittings, plumbing, tiling, installing new suite, and decorating — typically takes between 5 and 10 working days. Wet rooms or more complex projects with structural changes may take 2–3 weeks. We will give you a realistic timeline at the quote stage and do our best to work around your schedule.
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Glasgow?
A basic bathroom refurbishment typically starts from around £2,000–£3,500 for a straightforward suite swap and retile. A mid-range full renovation including new bath, shower, basin, toilet, tiling, and decoration typically costs £3,500–£6,000. Wet rooms and premium bathrooms with high-end fittings can range from £5,000–£10,000+. See our full Renovation Costs guide for more detailed pricing information.
Can you supply the bathroom suite and tiles, or do I need to buy them?
We offer a flexible approach. Many customers prefer to choose their own products, and we’re happy to install customer-supplied suites, tiles, and fittings. Alternatively, we can help you source everything through our trusted suppliers — including Victorian Plumbing, Wholesale Domestic, and B&Q. We’ll advise on quality, compatibility, and value for money based on your budget.
Can you convert a bathroom to a wet room?
Yes, wet room conversions are one of our specialities. We handle the full process — including tanking the floor and walls, installing the drainage system, fitting the shower enclosure (or frameless design), and completing all tiling and decoration. Wet rooms are ideal for accessibility, creating a modern aesthetic, and maximising space in smaller bathrooms. Visit our Bathroom Installation page to learn more.
Can you add an en-suite to a bedroom?
Yes. En-suite additions are a popular way to add value and convenience to your home. We assess the available space, plumbing routes, and any structural requirements, then plan and install a compact but fully functional en-suite bathroom. We’ve added en-suites to bedrooms across Glasgow, from Bearsden to Giffnock to East Kilbride.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrics yourselves?
Yes. Our in-house team includes experienced plumbers and electricians who handle all bathroom-related pipework, drainage, lighting, extractor fans, and heated towel rail connections. We ensure all electrical work complies with Part P Building Regulations and all plumbing meets current UK standards.
Kitchen Renovation Questions
How long does a kitchen installation take?
A standard kitchen replacement — removing the old units, installing new cabinets, worktops, appliances, tiling, and redecorating — typically takes 5 to 14 working days depending on the size of the kitchen and complexity of the design. We always provide a clear timeline in advance so you can plan accordingly.
How much does a new kitchen cost in Glasgow?
Kitchen costs vary widely based on size, materials, and the extent of work involved. A budget kitchen replacement can start from around £2,000–£4,000 (using flat-pack units), while a mid-range fitted kitchen with quality units and integrated appliances typically costs £5,000–£12,000. Premium bespoke kitchens can exceed £15,000. Our Costs page has more detailed pricing breakdowns.
Can you create an open-plan kitchen and living space?
Yes, we handle open-plan kitchen conversions including removal of internal walls (we assess whether walls are structural or non-structural and work with structural engineers where required), RSJ installation, and full kitchen design and fitting. Open-plan living spaces are hugely popular in Glasgow homes and can dramatically improve the feel and value of your property.
Can you tile the kitchen splashback as part of the job?
Absolutely. Our team includes experienced tilers who can fit any style of kitchen splashback — from simple brick-pattern metro tiles to large-format porcelain slabs, glass panels, or complex mosaic designs. We can also tile kitchen floors as part of the installation project.
Home Refurbishment Questions
What does a full property refurbishment include?
A full property refurbishment typically covers all or most of the following: full decoration (painting, wallpaper), new flooring throughout, bathroom renovation, kitchen installation or upgrade, plastering and rendering, new internal doors and skirting boards, electrical upgrades, and general repairs. We tailor every refurbishment to your specific requirements and budget. Learn more on our House Refurbishments page.
Do you do landlord refurbishments and void property clearances?
Yes. We work with landlords, letting agents, and property investors across Glasgow to prepare properties for let or sale. Services include full redecoration, replacing carpets, bathroom and kitchen upgrades, general repairs, and making good after tenants vacate. We understand the urgency involved in minimising void periods and work efficiently to get properties ready on time.
Can you plaster and redecorate individual rooms?
Yes, we don’t only do large projects. Our team is happy to take on smaller jobs too, including full room replasters, ceiling repairs, and fresh decoration of individual rooms. If you’ve had a bathroom renovation done recently and need the adjacent bedroom replastered and repainted, for example, we can help.
Process and Practicalities
Do I need to be at home during the renovation?
Not necessarily. Many of our customers trust us with keys to their property while they’re at work. We are fully insured, use a named team that we can identify for you in advance, and always respect your property. That said, we’re happy to work around your schedule if you prefer to be present.
How disruptive will the work be?
We make every effort to minimise disruption to your daily life. We protect non-work areas with dust sheets, use appropriate tools to contain mess, and clear up at the end of each working day. If your bathroom or kitchen will be out of use for an extended period, we’ll discuss this with you in advance so you can make alternative arrangements.
What guarantee do you offer?
We offer a 12-month workmanship guarantee on all renovation work we carry out. If any issues arise related to our workmanship within 12 months of completion, we will return and resolve them at no additional cost. This guarantee gives you complete peace of mind and reflects our confidence in the quality of our work.
How do I pay?
We typically work on a staged payment basis: an initial deposit to confirm the booking and order materials, followed by a payment partway through the project, with the final balance due on completion. We never ask for the full payment upfront, and we’ll agree the payment schedule clearly in writing before work begins. We accept bank transfer.
Will I receive a written quotation?
Yes, always. After our initial site visit, we provide a detailed written quote that itemises the labour and material costs for each element of the project. This gives you complete transparency and allows you to compare quotes fairly. We believe honest pricing builds trust — and we never add surprise extras at the end.
