Working in Lisburn

As well as Lisburn itself (BT17, BT26, BT27 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey.

In a city the size of Lisburn, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Lisburn before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. If you have young children at home in Lisburn, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Supplies across most of County Antrim are 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
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

Decisions to make first

Bath shape

A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.

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 Lisburn: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Lisburn?

A family bathroom in Lisburn 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.

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 Lisburn.

Is the home survey in Lisburn really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BT17 in Lisburn?

Yes. We cover all of Lisburn, including BT17, BT26, BT27 and BT28, and nearby Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you fit a separate bath and shower in a family bathroom?

Usually only in a room of about 6 m² or more, which leaves space for a 1700 mm bath, a shower enclosure, a basin and a WC without the room feeling crowded. In a smaller room, a shower bath with a screen gives most of the benefit. We test both layouts against your measurements at the survey.
