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 nobody in your Derry home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. For shower rooms in Derry, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Supplies across most of County Londonderry are 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.

What the job includes

A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

Decisions to make first

Storage

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

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 Derry: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Derry?

A shower room in Derry usually costs £4,000–£7,900 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 shower room 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.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
