Working in Ballymena

In Ballymena we cover BT42, BT43 and BT44; we also cover Antrim, 10.4 miles away, and Magherafelt.

Homes in and around Ballymena vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Ballymena bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. We measure walk-in showers in Ballymena so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Water across much of County Antrim is soft. If that holds for your street in Ballymena, 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 walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

Decisions to make first

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control is only involved where drainage, structure or ventilation change. New fittings must meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009.

Walk-in showers in Ballymena: questions

How much does a walk-in shower cost in Ballymena?

A walk-in shower in Ballymena usually costs £2,200–£5,300 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover BT42 in Ballymena?

Yes. We cover all of Ballymena, including BT42, BT43 and BT44, and nearby Antrim, Magherafelt and Larne. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Ballymena?

Does a walk-in shower in Ballymena need building control approval?

Building control in Ballymena 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.

Are walk-in showers easy to clean?

Easier than an enclosure, because there are no door seals, runners or hinges to collect grime. A single panel with an easy-clean coating needs a quick squeegee after use, especially with hard water, and large tiles mean fewer grout lines to scrub.
