Working in Larne
In Larne we cover BT40; we also cover Carrickfergus, 9.3 miles away, and Newtownabbey.
Larne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Larne 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. We check the floor under the bath during a Larne survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Supplies across most of County Antrim are soft. If that holds for your street in Larne, 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
Decisions to make first
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.
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
