A bathroom installation replaces your old suite with new sanitaryware, a bath or shower, tiling and fittings, including the plumbing, electrics, ventilation and waterproofing needed for a complete, watertight room.
Whatever prompted you to look into a new bathroom, whether wear and tear, a growing family or plans to move, we can survey your Omagh home and give you a price in writing. Homes in Northern Ireland typically come in at £4,300–£10,500, VAT included, for this kind of work. We also cover Strabane, Enniskillen and Cookstown, and the same steps apply wherever you are in County Tyrone.

Local housing and a new bathroom
Tyrone is largely rural, with detached houses and bungalows on individual plots across the countryside, many finished in render or roughcast. Omagh, Dungannon, Cookstown and Strabane have Victorian terraced streets, post-war estates and newer developments, and stone farmhouses survive in older rural areas.
Rural detached homes commonly take extensions, loft rooms, porches and driveways, and older houses may need re-roofing and re-rendering. Town terraces suit rear extensions and window replacement.
So when we survey a Omagh property for a new bathroom, the first step is working out how it was built and what has been changed since.
Planning and building rules in Omagh
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Omagh comes under Northern Ireland, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
Internal improvements do not need planning permission in Northern Ireland unless the building is listed.
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) apply to structural work, drainage and ventilation; electrical work should be tested and certified.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?
Survey and measure
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about a new bathroom.
Your fixed price
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Booking the work
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Omagh property.
The work itself
On site, the agreed plan is followed and any change is put in writing first. At completion we do a final clean, go through the snagging list with you and leave you with the relevant documents.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a new boiler for a new shower?
You do not always need a new boiler for a new shower, but your hot water system decides what kind of shower will work well. Combi boilers suit mixer showers directly from the mains. Tank-fed systems may need a pump for good pressure, and electric showers heat their own water. We check your boiler, cylinder and water pressure during the survey and recommend a shower to match.
Can I move the toilet to a different position?
Moving a toilet is usually possible, but it is limited by the soil pipe, which needs a large-diameter pipe with a steady fall to the soil stack. Short moves along the same wall are often simple, while moving it across the room may mean lifting floors or boxing in pipework. A macerator pump is an option where gravity will not work. We check the stack position during the survey.
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
Which tiles are easiest to keep clean?
Large-format porcelain tiles are usually easiest to keep clean, because there are fewer grout lines to collect dirt and porcelain absorbs very little water. Glossy tiles show water marks more than matt ones, while textured floor tiles give better grip. Grout colour matters too: mid-grey hides staining better than white. We can suggest anti-slip ratings and grout options that suit how you use the room.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
