Working in Newry
In Newry we cover BT35; we also cover Banbridge, 12.1 miles away, and Portadown.
Homes in and around Newry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are in Newry and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. If the bath in your Newry home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
Most of County Down 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
- 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
Freestanding bath
Acrylic freestanding baths are manageable on most floors; stone resin and cast iron are much heavier when full. You need room to clean round the bath and a plan for where the waste and filler come up.
Shower bath
A P-shaped or L-shaped bath is wider at the shower end, giving room to stand and space for a fixed screen instead of a curtain.
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.
