Shower Installation across Banbury

Whether you are replacing an old electric shower or fitting a mixer, the plumbing needs care. Showers involve water pressure, hot water supply and often electrics. The work must meet building regulations.

Electric, mixer, power and digital showers all have different needs. The engineer checks your water pressure, flow and hot water system first. That shows which type will work best at your property.

The job covers pipework, the waste, the tray and the screen. The job may include tiling or waterproof panels around the shower. Electric showers need a registered electrician for the wiring.

Signs you need shower installation help

These are common signs that you need shower installation. If you spot one, act early, because small faults often grow.

  • ✓ Your current shower delivers poor water pressure or inconsistent temperature
  • ✓ The electric shower unit is old, corroded, or intermittently cutting out
  • ✓ You want to upgrade from an electric shower to a mixer or power shower for a better experience
  • ✓ You are converting a bath to a walk-in shower for accessibility or personal preference
  • ✓ A new bathroom or en-suite needs a shower installed from scratch

Our process

These steps show a typical visit. However, the exact method depends on what the engineer finds on site.

  1. 1.
    Assessment and Recommendation
    We check your existing water pressure, flow rate, hot water system type, and electrical supply to recommend the most suitable shower type and model for your property and preferences.
  2. 2.
    Plumbing and Electrical Preparation
    The engineer installs or modifies hot and cold water feeds, runs waste pipework to the nearest drain connection, and if fitting an electric shower, arranges the dedicated electrical supply required by current regulations.
  3. 3.
    Shower Unit and Tray Installation
    The shower tray is levelled and sealed, the shower unit or valve is mounted and connected to water and electrical supplies, and the enclosure or screen is fitted. Tiling or waterproof panelling is completed around the shower area.
  4. 4.
    Testing and Handover
    We test the shower across all settings for temperature stability, flow rate, and drainage. All connections are checked for leaks. We demonstrate the controls and provide care and maintenance advice.

Pricing guide

The price depends on the shower type and the amount of plumbing and electrical work. Replacing an electric shower on an existing supply is simpler than a new mixer needing new pipes. Send a request online and we pass it to a local engineer, and the shower unit itself costs extra.

Shower Installation — frequently asked questions

What type of shower is best for my home?

It depends on your water system. A combi boiler suits a thermostatic mixer, while a power shower can boost flow with a hot water cylinder. An electric shower is independent of your heating, so it suits low hot water capacity.

Do I need an electrician for an electric shower installation?

Yes. An electric shower needs its own circuit from the consumer unit. A registered electrician must carry out and certify this work to meet Building Regulations.

Can you replace a bath with a walk-in shower?

Yes, this is a common request. The bath comes out, the waste and water supply move, and a tray or wetroom floor goes in. A screen and tiling finish the job.
