Working in Newtownards

In Newtownards we cover BT23; we also cover Bangor, 4.8 miles away, and Castlereagh.

Homes in and around Newtownards vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a busy Newtownards household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. If you have young children at home in Newtownards, 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 Down 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
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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

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.

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.

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 Newtownards: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Newtownards?

Is the home survey in Newtownards 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 BT23 in Newtownards?

Yes. We cover all of Newtownards, including BT23, and nearby Bangor, Castlereagh and Belfast. 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.
