Working in Newtownabbey

Homes in and around Newtownabbey vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a walk-in shower in Newtownabbey, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If you are planning ahead in Newtownabbey for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Supplies across most of County Antrim are soft. If that holds for your street in Newtownabbey, 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Decisions to make first
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.
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
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.
