Working in Strabane

We cover every part of Strabane, including BT81 and BT82, and nearby Omagh (16.9 miles) and Cookstown (31.4 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Strabane: free survey, written quote, one team. Before a new bath is ordered for a Strabane home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. Survey visits in Strabane cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.

Most of County Tyrone 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

Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest

Decisions to make first

Acrylic or steel

Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.

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.

Is the home survey in Strabane really free?

Do you cover BT81 and BT82 in Strabane?

Yes. We cover all of Strabane, including BT81 and BT82, and nearby Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size is a standard bath in the UK?

The most common UK bath is 1700 mm long and 700 mm wide. 1500 mm and 1600 mm baths suit smaller rooms, and 1800 mm lengths or 750 to 800 mm widths give more room to lie back. Matching the old size keeps the tiling and panel work to a minimum.
