Working in Portadown

As well as Portadown itself (BT62), we survey in Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh.

Homes in and around Portadown vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Portadown homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Survey visits in Portadown cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.

Most of County Armagh 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

A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean

Decisions to make first

Size

Most UK baths are 1700 × 700 mm. Going longer or wider than the old bath means re-tiling and checking that the new one fits up the stairs.

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.

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.
