Working in Banbridge

As well as Banbridge itself (BT25, BT31 and BT32), we survey in Craigavon, Portadown and Newry.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Banbridge: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Banbridge home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. We quote wet rooms in Banbridge only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Most of County Down is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Banbridge, 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

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

Decisions to make first

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers new drainage, ventilation and structural changes to the floor. There is no Part P, but the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Banbridge: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Banbridge?

A wet room in Banbridge usually costs £5,300–£10,500 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.

Is the home survey in Banbridge 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 BT25 in Banbridge?

Yes. We cover all of Banbridge, including BT25, BT31 and BT32, and nearby Craigavon, Portadown and Newry. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Banbridge?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
