Working in Coleraine

We cover every part of Coleraine, including BT51, BT52 and BT55, and nearby Limavady (12.6 miles) and Magherafelt (26.3 miles).

Homes in and around Coleraine vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning a wet room in Coleraine for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. We quote wet rooms in Coleraine only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

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

A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

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.

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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 Coleraine: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Coleraine?

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

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 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 Coleraine.

Is the home survey in Coleraine 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 BT51 in Coleraine?

Yes. We cover all of Coleraine, including BT51, BT52 and BT55, and nearby Limavady, Magherafelt and Derry. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
