Working in Portadown

We work right across Portadown — BT62 — and in neighbouring Craigavon and Banbridge.

In Portadown, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure walk-in showers in Portadown so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Portadown shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Water across much of County Armagh is soft. If that holds for your street in Portadown, 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

Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

Decisions to make first

Tray length

Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

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 Portadown: questions

Is the home survey in Portadown really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BT62 in Portadown?

Yes. We cover all of Portadown, including BT62, and nearby Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
