Working in Enniskillen

As well as Enniskillen itself (BT74), we survey in Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon.

Enniskillen gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Before a new bath is ordered for a Enniskillen home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. If the bath in your Enniskillen home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.

Most of County Fermanagh 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

Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath

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.

Bath replacement in Enniskillen: questions

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

A replacement bath in Enniskillen 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 BT74 in Enniskillen?

Yes. We cover all of Enniskillen, including BT74, and nearby Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Enniskillen?

Does a replacement bath in Enniskillen need building control approval?

Building control in Enniskillen 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.
