Working in Lisburn

We cover every part of Lisburn, including BT17, BT26, BT27 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Belfast (6.7 miles) and Castlereagh (7 miles).

Lisburn is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are in Lisburn and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. If the bath in your Lisburn home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.

Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies

Decisions to make first

Bath panel

Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.

Taps or filler

Deck taps on the rim are the simplest swap. Wall-mounted taps or a bath filler look cleaner but mean opening the wall, and an overflow filler hides the spout altogether.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 apply to the new taps or filler. Building control is involved only if the floor structure or drainage is altered.

What size is a standard bath in the UK?

The most common UK bath is 1700 mm long and 700 mm wide. 1500 mm and 1600 mm baths suit smaller rooms, and 1800 mm lengths or 750 to 800 mm widths give more room to lie back. Matching the old size keeps the tiling and panel work to a minimum.
