Which towns do we cover in County Antrim?

Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. 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. For a period house in Belfast with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.

What the job includes

Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan

Decisions to make first

Brassware finish

Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.

Shower system

A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.

Wall and floor finish

Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.

Heating

Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

Internal bathroom work does not need planning permission, but a listed building needs listed building consent for alterations affecting its character, including new soil or vent pipes through walls. Heavy baths and stone floors add load to the floor structure, which should be checked first. Electrics must meet BS 7671, including the IP ratings in each zone and 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit.

In Northern Ireland, building control covers structural work, drainage and ventilation. There is no Part P, but the heating, lighting and shower circuits should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

Is the water hard in County Antrim?

Microcement or tiles in a luxury bathroom?

Microcement gives a seamless finish with no grout lines, but it must go on a stable, well-prepared base and be properly sealed. Large-format porcelain gives a similarly clean look, is harder-wearing and is easier to repair if something is dropped on it. We price both if you are undecided.
