Whether you are replacing a tired electric shower, upgrading to a thermostatic mixer, or installing a new power shower for better flow rates, our qualified plumbers handle every type of shower fitting across the Banbury area. Shower installation involves plumbing, and in many cases electrical work, which must be carried out safely and to current building regulations. We install electric showers, mixer showers fed from your existing hot water system, power showers with integrated pumps, digital showers with remote controls, and walk-in or wetroom shower systems with linear drains. Each shower type has specific requirements for water supply pressure, flow rate, hot water capacity, and electrical supply, and we assess your property's systems during a pre-installation visit to recommend the best option. Our installation includes all pipework connections, waste fittings, shower tray or wetroom tray installation, screen or enclosure fitting, and tiling or waterproof panelling around the shower area. We test the completed installation for leaks, temperature accuracy, and adequate drainage before handing over. For electric showers, all electrical work is carried out by a Part P qualified electrician and certified to Building Regulations.
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.
We install or modify hot and cold water feeds, run waste pipework to the nearest drain connection, and if fitting an electric shower, arrange the dedicated electrical supply required by current regulations.
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.
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.
Shower installation in the Banbury area typically costs between £300 and £900 for the fitting, depending on the type of shower, complexity of the plumbing and electrical work, and whether tiling is included. Electric shower replacements on existing supplies are at the lower end. New mixer or power shower installations requiring pipework modifications cost more. The shower unit itself is an additional cost — we can supply or you can provide your own.
It depends on your water system. If you have a combi boiler, a thermostatic mixer shower works well as the boiler provides hot water on demand. If you have a conventional system with a hot water cylinder, a power shower can boost flow rates. Electric showers are independent of your heating system and suit properties with low hot water capacity.
Yes. Electric showers must be connected to a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit by a Part P qualified electrician. This is a Building Regulations requirement. Our team includes qualified electricians who carry out and certify this work as part of the installation.
Yes, this is one of our most popular requests. We remove the bath, adjust the waste and water supply positions, install a shower tray or create a wetroom floor, and fit the shower unit, screen, and tiling. The finished result is a modern, accessible shower space.
