Working in Larne

We work right across Larne — BT40 — and in neighbouring Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Larne: free survey, written quote, one team. If you have young children at home in Larne, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. If your Larne home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows.

Water across much of County Antrim 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Bath material

Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control is involved where drainage, structure or ventilation change. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 cover the new WC and taps, and wiring should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Larne: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Larne?

A family bathroom in Larne usually costs £5,300–£9,700 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Larne?

Does a family bathroom in Larne need building control approval?

Building control in Larne 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.

How long does a family bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Larne.

What is the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom?

Porcelain tiles are the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom: they do not absorb water and are hard to scratch. Choose a matt or textured finish so wet feet do not slip. Luxury vinyl tile is warmer underfoot and costs less, but it can be dented and needs a perfectly flat subfloor.
