Working in Coleraine
In Coleraine we cover BT51, BT52 and BT55; we also cover Limavady, 12.6 miles away, and Magherafelt.
Homes in and around Coleraine vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a long, narrow Coleraine en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Coleraine bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Supplies across most of County Londonderry are soft. If that holds for your street in Coleraine, 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
- 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- 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 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.
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.
