Bathrooms in Glasgow's tenement flats, particularly in the older blocks across the West End and Southside, often sit in the middle of the flat with no external wall - a legacy of the original layout, where the bathroom was frequently added into what had been a box room once indoor plumbing became standard. That central position can make ventilation and waste pipe routing more involved than in a house with an external bathroom wall.
What causes the surprises
Shared soil stacks running through multiple flats in the same tenement close mean that plumbing work on one flat's bathroom can occasionally affect or require access to a neighbour's property - worth discussing with a plumber early, and being upfront with neighbours if access might be needed.
Getting comparable quotes
Ask each builder to quote against the same fixed spec sheet rather than a general description - Glasgow's tenement bathrooms vary enough in layout and plumbing history that a loosely specified "full refit" quote can mean genuinely different jobs.
