Which towns do we cover in County Londonderry?
Most of County Londonderry is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If nobody in your Derry home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.
What the job includes
- Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
- Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Decisions to make first
Storage
Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.
Glass
Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.
WC type
A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.
Keep the bath or go walk-in
A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
A small bathroom refit in the same room does not need planning permission. The electrical zones matter more in a tight room because the lights and fan end up close to the shower: fittings above the bath or tray up to 2.25 m must be at least IPX4, and any socket other than a shaver supply unit must be at least 3 m from that zone, which in a small bathroom usually rules sockets out. Every circuit needs 30 mA RCD protection under BS 7671.
In Northern Ireland, building control is concerned with changes to drainage, structure and ventilation rather than a straight refit. There is no Part P, but the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.
