Working in Derry

We work right across Derry — BT47 and BT48 — and in neighbouring Limavady and Coleraine.

In a city the size of Derry, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are in Derry and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. We measure Derry bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan.

Water across much of County Londonderry is soft. 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

A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors

Decisions to make first

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

Tile setting-out

Centring tiles on the window, basin or niche avoids thin slivers at the edges. Large tiles mean fewer joints but need flatter walls.

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 Derry: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Derry?

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 Derry typically costs £5,700–£10,500 including VAT.

Do you cover BT47 and BT48 in Derry?

Yes. We cover all of Derry, including BT47 and BT48, and nearby Limavady, Coleraine and Magherafelt. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Derry?

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

Building control in Derry 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.

What does a bathroom designer do?

A bathroom designer works out the layout, products and finishes that suit your room and budget, within the limits set by the drainage, water supply, structure and electrics. The result is a drawing and a product list that the fitters build from, so the price can be fixed before anything is ordered.
