Working in Belfast
We work right across Belfast — BT1, BT2, BT3 and 11 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Newtownabbey and Lisburn.
Belfast is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Belfast, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. For Belfast houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water across much of County Antrim is soft. If that holds for your street in Belfast, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, building control is only involved if drainage, structure or ventilation change. Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £25,000 are available through the Housing Executive, and wiring should follow BS 7671.
