Working in Antrim

We cover every part of Antrim, including BT29 and BT41, and nearby Ballymena (10.4 miles) and Newtownabbey (12.7 miles).

Antrim gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are converting a bathroom in Antrim into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If your second bathroom in Antrim is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Antrim, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

Decisions to make first

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers changes to drainage, structure and ventilation. Water fittings must meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009, and wiring should follow BS 7671.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Antrim: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Antrim?

A shower room in Antrim usually costs £4,000–£7,900 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 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 Antrim.

Is the home survey in Antrim 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 BT29 and BT41 in Antrim?

Yes. We cover all of Antrim, including BT29 and BT41, and nearby Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
