Working in Bangor

We cover every part of Bangor, including BT19 and BT20, and nearby Newtownards (4.8 miles) and Carrickfergus (6.7 miles).

Bangor is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We measure walk-in showers in Bangor so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If you are planning ahead in Bangor for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Water across much of County Down is soft. If that holds for your street in Bangor, 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
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

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.

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.

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 Bangor: questions

How much should I budget for a walk-in shower in Bangor?

A walk-in shower in Bangor 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 BT19 and BT20 in Bangor?

Yes. We cover all of Bangor, including BT19 and BT20, and nearby Newtownards, Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bangor?

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

Building control in Bangor 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.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
