Working in Banbridge

In Banbridge we cover BT25, BT31 and BT32; we also cover Craigavon, 7.9 miles away, and Portadown.

Banbridge gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Banbridge home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Banbridge home to go with the application.

Supplies across most of County Down are soft. If that holds for your street in Banbridge, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

Walk-in bath

A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £25,000 are handled through the Housing Executive. Building control covers changes to drainage and ventilation, and wiring should follow BS 7671.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Banbridge: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Banbridge?

An accessible bathroom in Banbridge usually costs £5,300–£12,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Banbridge really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BT25 in Banbridge?

Yes. We cover all of Banbridge, including BT25, BT31 and BT32, and nearby Craigavon, Portadown and Newry. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Banbridge?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
