Do you supply the shower unit?

We typically install customer-chosen showers. We can advise on compatibility with your supplies and bathroom layout before you buy.

Can you fit a shower over a bath?

Yes. We connect bath fillers, riser rails and valves, ensuring supplies and sealing details work with your bath and screen setup.

Who connects the electrics for an electric shower?

A qualified electrician should carry out electrical connection and certification. We handle the water supply side and coordinate positions with them.

Will you chase walls for concealed pipework?

Limited chasing may be possible within agreed scope. Extensive tile removal and making-good is usually sequenced with your tiler or builder.

What if my combi boiler cannot support the shower I want?

We will be upfront about flow and temperature limits. Sometimes a different valve type or supply alteration improves performance within realistic bounds.

Shower Installation in Warrington

A reliable shower depends on correctly sized supplies, sound valves and watertight finishes. We install and replace shower pipework and valves for mixer and electric showers in Warrington bathrooms, working with your chosen shower unit and enclosure where trades need to align.

Common situations we help with

Old shower valve leaking behind tiles or through the faceplate
Insufficient hot or cold supply to a new mixer shower
Upgrading from bath taps to a dedicated shower valve
Electric shower replacement requiring altered water supply routing
Poor water pressure affecting shower performance
Renovation exposing outdated or incorrectly routed shower pipework

What this service covers

First and second fix pipework for shower valves
Replacement of exposed mixer valves and riser rails where accessible
Supply alterations for electric shower positions
Installation of customer-supplied shower kits and valves
Pressure and flow checks at handover
Coordination with tiling and enclosure fitting trades
Waste and trap checks where shower trays are replaced

What the work typically involves

Share your shower model, bathroom photos and whether tiles will be disturbed — it shapes how we plan access.
We assess existing supplies and discuss routing for hot, cold and any electrical considerations with your electrician.
Pipework and valve positions are agreed, marked and installed to suit the enclosure layout.
The shower is connected, flushed and tested for leaks and temperature balance.
Tiling or making-good is completed by your chosen trades once pipework is proven.

Repair or replacement?

Surface-mounted valves with available spare parts can sometimes be serviced. Concealed valves with failed cartridges, corroded bodies or chronic leaks behind tiles often warrant controlled replacement with planned tile access.
