Working in Newry

As well as Newry itself (BT35), we survey in Banbridge, Portadown and Armagh.

Homes in and around Newry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Newry so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Newry shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

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

A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
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

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 Newry: questions

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

A walk-in shower in Newry usually costs £2,200–£5,300 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the water hard in Newry?

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

Building control in Newry 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 long does a walk-in shower take?

Allow 2–5 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Newry.

Can a walk-in shower replace a bath?

Yes. A standard bath is about 1700 by 700 mm, so a 1700 mm tray fits the same space and can often use the existing waste position. It is one of the simplest ways to get a walk-in shower; our bath to shower conversions page covers that job in detail.
