As a guide, budget £1,750 to £4,400 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Magherafelt; your written quote will pin it down. Labour costs in Northern Ireland put local prices at about 12% below the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Magherafelt
We cover every part of Magherafelt, including BT45 and BT46, and nearby Cookstown (9.4 miles) and Ballymena (15.2 miles).
Magherafelt gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Magherafelt houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Magherafelt survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of County Londonderry is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Magherafelt, 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
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
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.
