A shared bathroom refit replaces worn or failing bathrooms in an HMO with hard-wearing, easy-clean ones: good extraction, waterproofing, thermostatic showers and finishes that stand up to several users a day. In Kirkcaldy, a town of around 50,000 people in Fife, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Scotland and the council’s written HMO standards.
