Which towns do we cover in County Tyrone?

Water across much of County Tyrone is soft. If that holds for your street in Omagh, 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 nobody in your Omagh home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

What the job includes

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

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.

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.

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.

How long does a shower room take?

Most jobs take 4–8 working days on site once the products have arrived. We confirm a start date and a day-by-day plan when you approve the quote.

Is the water hard in County Tyrone?

Can a shower room have a level floor?

Yes. A tiled level floor with a former and linear drain gives a seamless look and level access, but it needs full tanking of the shower area and a suitable floor build-up. On a timber floor, the former is set between the joists; on a concrete floor, the screed may need cutting out to set the drain.
