Working in Omagh

We work right across Omagh — BT78 and BT79 — and in neighbouring Strabane and Enniskillen.

Omagh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Omagh homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Before a new bath is ordered for a Omagh home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.

Water across much of County Tyrone 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

Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
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.

More about bath replacement

Bath replacement in Omagh: questions

What is the price of a replacement bath in Omagh?

A replacement bath in Omagh usually costs £800–£2,200 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover BT78 and BT79 in Omagh?

Yes. We cover all of Omagh, including BT78 and BT79, and nearby Strabane, Enniskillen and Cookstown. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Omagh?

Does a replacement bath in Omagh need building control approval?

Building control in Omagh 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.
