Working in Limavady

In Limavady we cover BT49; we also cover Coleraine, 12.6 miles away, and Derry.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Limavady: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure walk-in showers in Limavady so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Limavady 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 Limavady, 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 low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

Decisions to make first

Niche

A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.

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.

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 Limavady: questions

How much does a walk-in shower cost in Limavady?

A walk-in shower in Limavady usually costs £2,200–£5,300 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Limavady?

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

Building control in Limavady 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 Limavady.

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.
