Working in Limavady
As well as Limavady itself (BT49), we survey in Coleraine, Derry and Magherafelt.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Limavady: free survey, written quote, one team. For Limavady homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. If the bath in your Limavady home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
Most of County Londonderry 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- 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
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.
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.
