Working in Portadown

In Portadown we cover BT62; we also cover Craigavon, 2.8 miles away, and Banbridge.

Homes in and around Portadown vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a busy Portadown household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. We survey in Portadown before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Water across much of County Armagh 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 free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

Decisions to make first

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

Screen or curtain

Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.

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 Portadown: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Portadown?

A family bathroom in Portadown usually costs £5,300–£9,700 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

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 Portadown.

Is the home survey in Portadown 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 BT62 in Portadown?

Yes. We cover all of Portadown, including BT62, and nearby Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh. 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.
