Working in Craigavon

We work right across Craigavon — BT63, BT64, BT65 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Portadown and Banbridge.

In Craigavon, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Survey visits in Craigavon cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. For Craigavon homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.

Water across much of County Armagh is soft. 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

Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean

Decisions to make first

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.

Acrylic or steel

Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.

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.

Bath replacement in Craigavon: questions

How much should I budget for a replacement bath in Craigavon?

A replacement bath in Craigavon usually costs £800–£2,200 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Do you cover BT63 in Craigavon?

Yes. We cover all of Craigavon, including BT63, BT64, BT65, BT66 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Portadown, Banbridge and Armagh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Craigavon?

Does a replacement bath in Craigavon need building control approval?

Building control in Craigavon is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

Can you replace a bath without removing the tiles?

Sometimes. If the tiles stop just above the rim with a silicone joint and the new bath is the same size, they can often stay. If the tiles sit on the bath edge, the bottom row usually cracks or comes away when the old bath is cut out. We tell you which applies at the survey and show tile repairs as a separate line on the quote.
