Prices in Northern Ireland run at about 12% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Ballymena

We cover every part of Ballymena, including BT42, BT43 and BT44, and nearby Antrim (10.4 miles) and Magherafelt (15.2 miles).

Homes in and around Ballymena vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are in Ballymena and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. A design survey in Ballymena covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.

Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail

Decisions to make first

Storage

Fitted furniture, a vanity with a tall cupboard, or recessed niches and a mirror cabinet. Recessed storage costs no floor space but needs a stud wall or deep boxing to sit in.

Planning for later

Timber noggins in the walls for future grab rails, a wider door or a level shower floor cost far less to build in now than to add later.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers new drainage, structural changes and ventilation, which is set out in Technical Booklet K. There is no Part P, but the electrical plan should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about bathroom design

Bathroom design in Ballymena: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Ballymena?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Ballymena typically costs £5,700–£10,500 including VAT.

Do you cover BT42 in Ballymena?

Yes. We cover all of Ballymena, including BT42, BT43 and BT44, and nearby Antrim, Magherafelt and Larne. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Ballymena?

Does a new bathroom design in Ballymena need building control approval?

Building control in Ballymena is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

Can you design a bathroom around products I have already chosen?

Yes. Tell us the products at the survey and we will check they fit the room, the water pressure and the drainage before drawing the layout around them. If something will not work, such as a shower valve that needs more pressure than your system gives, we say so before you buy anything else.
