Working in Cookstown
As well as Cookstown itself (BT80), we survey in Magherafelt, Dungannon and Portadown.
Cookstown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Cookstown 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 you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Cookstown, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of County Tyrone is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Cookstown, 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
