Working in Bangor

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

In a city the size of Bangor, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Bangor bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. We quote wet rooms in Bangor only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Supplies across most of County Down are 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

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

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.

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

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 Bangor: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Bangor?

A wet room in Bangor 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.

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 wet room 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.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
