Which towns do we cover in County Londonderry?

Water across much of County Londonderry is soft. If that holds for your street in Derry, 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. If you are converting a bathroom in Derry into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

What the job includes

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

Turning a bathroom into a shower room does not need planning permission. The electrics must meet BS 7671: 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit, at least IPX4 fittings in zone 1 above the tray up to 2.25 m, or IPX5 where water jets are used, and no ordinary sockets within 3 m of zone 1. A shower pump can only be used on a gravity system with a cold tank, never connected directly to the mains.

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 County Londonderry?

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.
