Working in Banbridge

In Banbridge we cover BT25, BT31 and BT32; we also cover Craigavon, 7.9 miles away, and Portadown.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Banbridge: free survey, written quote, one team. For shower rooms in Banbridge, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If your second bathroom in Banbridge is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Water across much of County Down is soft. If that holds for your street in Banbridge, 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

Decisions to make first

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

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.

Is the water hard in Banbridge?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
