Working in Derry

As well as Derry itself (BT47 and BT48), we survey in Limavady, Coleraine and Magherafelt.

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 your Derry 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. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Derry before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Supplies across most of County Londonderry 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

A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet

Decisions to make first

Floor

Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.

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 Derry: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Derry?

A family bathroom in Derry usually costs £5,300–£9,700 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

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 family bathroom 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.

Should a family bathroom have a bath?

If you have young children, yes: bathing a toddler in a shower tray is hard work. In a single-bathroom house, a bath with a good thermostatic shower over it gives you both in one footprint. If the children are older and nobody baths, a walk-in shower may suit you better; our bath or shower guide sets out the trade-offs.
