We install every type of shower found in Liverpool homes. Here is how to choose the right one for your property and water supply.
An electric shower heats cold water on demand using an internal heating element. Entirely independent of the hot water system. It works even when the boiler is broken. The most popular choice for Liverpool properties with low water pressure or gravity-fed systems. Available in 7.5kW, 9.5kW and 10.8kW ratings. We recommend 9.5kW or above for comfortable shower performance.
A thermostatic bar valve mixes hot and cold water to a pre-set temperature and maintains it even when someone runs a tap elsewhere in the house. The anti-scald protection makes thermostatic showers the recommended choice for families with children or elderly residents. We supply and fit from £300 including the bar valve, head and riser rail.
A power shower has an integral pump to boost water pressure in homes with gravity-fed systems where the pressure is too low for a satisfying shower. Requires a hot water cylinder. Cannot be used with a combi boiler. Very effective in Liverpool's older Victorian and Edwardian properties with gravity-fed systems. Supply and fit from £350.
A digital shower controller allows precise temperature setting from a remote pad or smartphone app. Available in wireless and wired configurations. Popular in larger Liverpool properties and new en suite installations where a premium shower experience is wanted. Supply and fit from £500 for the valve and controller.
A walk-in shower area uses a linear drain and a level-access tiled floor rather than a shower tray. Requires full tanking of the walls and floor before tiling. We carry out the full installation including waterproofing, tiling and the shower valve. Walk-in areas without a tray from £800 supply and fit including tiling.
A shower over bath with a folding bath screen is one of the most space-efficient solutions for smaller Liverpool homes or rental properties. We install electric shower over bath from £200 and thermostatic bar valve over bath from £250. Bath screens from £150 supply and fit.
Most shower problems can be resolved without a full replacement. We diagnose before recommending any work.
If the shower goes scalding hot or freezing cold when someone turns on a tap in another room, the thermostatic valve cartridge is worn. Valve cartridge replacement from £100 usually resolves this without replacing the whole unit.
Limescale build-up in the shower head is the most common cause. A new shower head from £30 often resolves this. If pressure is poor across all outlets, the issue is the water supply or the pump rather than the shower itself.
An electric shower that trips the RCD usually has a failed heating element or a water ingress issue. The shower unit needs replacing. Elements cannot be repaired. We carry common electric shower units and can often replace on the same visit.
A leak from the shower valve body or cartridge can usually be resolved with a cartridge replacement or a new O-ring seal. We diagnose the source of the leak before recommending whether repair or replacement is the right call.
A cracked shower tray must be replaced. It cannot be repaired reliably. A tray that is leaking underneath can cause significant damage to the floor structure below, particularly in Liverpool's terraced properties with timber joists. We replace shower trays from £200 labour.
Electric showers typically last 5 to 10 years. A shower unit over 10 years old that is developing faults is usually more economical to replace than to repair. Parts availability for older electric showers decreases significantly after the 8 to 10 year mark.

It depends on your water supply. Electric showers work on any system and are the most common choice in Liverpool. Thermostatic mixer showers are best for homes with good pressure or an unvented cylinder. Power showers boost low pressure but need a hot water cylinder. Digital showers give the best control and are ideal for larger properties. We advise on the right choice at the quote visit.
