Types of Showers

Electric shower

Heats cold water instantly using an electric element. Only needs a cold water supply. Works on low pressure (good for older Swindon properties with loft tanks). Needs an electrical professional to wire it (we'll do the plumbing only).

Mixer shower (thermostatic or manual)

Mixes hot and cold water to the temperature you want. Needs hot and cold supplies with balanced pressure. Thermostatic mixers keep the temperature steady. Manual mixers are cheaper but the temperature fluctuates if someone uses water elsewhere.

Power shower (with pump)

A mixer shower with a built-in pump to boost pressure. Only works with a hot water cylinder (not combi boilers). Good for older properties with low pressure. Costs more but gives a powerful shower.

Digital shower

Controlled by a digital processor. You set the temperature and flow precisely. Expensive but reliable. Needs hot and cold supplies and sometimes needs a pump if pressure's low.

How We Install Showers

1

Check the water pressure

We'll test the hot and cold pressure to see if a mixer shower will work properly. If pressure's low (below 1 bar), we'll recommend an electric shower or a power shower with a pump.

2

Run the supply pipes

We'll run hot and cold pipes (for mixer showers) or just cold (for electric showers) from the nearest supply points to the shower location. We'll fit isolation valves so the shower can be isolated without draining the system.

3

Fit the shower unit

We'll mount the shower unit on the wall, connect the supply pipes, and fit the shower head and hose. For electric showers, we'll do the plumbing and you'll need an electrical professional to wire it.

4

Connect the waste

We'll run the waste pipe from the shower tray to the nearest waste stack or drain. The waste needs a trap and a fall (slope) to drain properly. We'll test it to make sure it doesn't overflow or back up.

5

Test and commission

We'll turn the water on, test the shower at different temperatures and flows, and check for leaks. For mixer showers, we'll make sure the temperature's stable. Once it's all working, job done.

Types of Showers We Install

Electric showers

Heat water instantly, work on any pressure system, cheapest to install. Good for en-suites or homes with poor hot water pressure.

Mixer showers

Blend hot and cold water. Require decent pressure on both supplies or a pump. Better flow than electric but need hot water available.

Power showers

Built-in pump for strong flow even on low pressure systems. Ideal for gravity-fed tanks in older Swindon homes.

Digital showers

Precise temperature control, can run multiple outlets. More expensive but worth it for high-end bathrooms.

Got questions? Here's the quick answers.

How much does shower installation cost in Swindon?
Shower installation in Swindon typically costs between £200 and £600 depending on the type of shower and whether new plumbing is needed.
What type of shower is best for my home?
Electric showers work independently of your boiler and are ideal if hot water is limited. Mixer showers give better flow but depend on your hot water system. We can advise based on your setup.
Can you fit a shower over a bath?
Yes. A bath shower mixer or wall-mounted shower with a screen is a popular and cost-effective option. We fit these regularly.
