Working in Derry
We cover every part of Derry, including BT47 and BT48, and nearby Limavady (14.7 miles) and Coleraine (27.1 miles).
In a city the size of Derry, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are in Derry and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Survey visits in Derry cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.
Water across much of County Londonderry 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
- 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
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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.
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.
