Working in Castlereagh
We cover every part of Castlereagh, including BT5, BT6 and BT7, and nearby Belfast (2.3 miles) and Newtownabbey (6 miles).
In Castlereagh, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Castlereagh bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old. If the bath in your Castlereagh home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of County Antrim is soft. If that holds for your street in Castlereagh, 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
