A shower fitted around the whole water path
Water path checked first
Pressure, supply and drainage are checked before the shower is fitted, so the new shower performs as it should.
Seals that keep water in
Trays, enclosures and joints are sealed with care, so water stays in the shower and out of the walls.
Tested under normal use
The new shower is tested under normal use after fitting, so any issue is found before the room is handed over.
Replace a shower in the same position
Replacing a shower in the same position is often a straightforward change, because the water supply and waste are already in the right place. We remove the old shower, check the pipework and connections behind it, and fit the new unit onto sound services. The new shower is then tested at normal pressure, so the customer gets a fresh shower without the upheaval of moving pipes across the room.
A same-position replacement also suits a bathroom that is otherwise in good order, because the room needs no new tiling, no new layout and no major work. We work around the existing fixtures, protect the surfaces that stay, and leave the room clean when the new shower is fitted. The customer keeps the bathroom that is already known, with a shower that works as it should.
Choose a shower type for the water supply
The right shower depends on the water supply behind it, so the choice starts with pressure, flow and the type of system in the home. We check whether the property has a combi boiler, a stored hot water system or an electric supply, and we measure the pressure at the shower point. The shower type is then chosen to match that supply, so the new shower gives a steady flow at a steady temperature.
Choosing by supply also avoids disappointment, because a shower chosen for looks alone may run weakly on a low-pressure system. We explain what each shower type needs and what it will deliver on the supply in the home, so the customer chooses with the full picture. The result is a shower that suits the bathroom and the water behind it, rather than one that fights the system every morning.
