Working in Derry
We work right across Derry — BT47 and BT48 — and in neighbouring Limavady and Coleraine.
Derry 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 Derry, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If the bath in your Derry home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of County Londonderry are soft. If that holds for your street in Derry, 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- 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
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
