What is Shower Installation?
Shower installation involves more than just attaching a showerhead. It’s a careful process that includes connecting water lines, drainage, and waterproofing. Whether you’re fitting a standard enclosure or a luxurious walk-in, correct installation is essential for long-term functionality, water efficiency, and preventing damage. Done professionally, it also ensures your new shower complies with plumbing codes and is built to last.
Signs That You Need a New Shower Installation
Not sure whether it’s time to replace your current shower? Here are some common signs it might be time for an upgrade:
Persistent Leaks or Water Damage
Leaking showers don’t just waste water, they can cause mould growth behind walls or under tiles, and even damage the structure of your bathroom. If you’ve noticed damp patches, peeling paint, or a musty smell, it could be a sign of hidden water damage.
Low Water Pressure or Poor Performance
Old plumbing or outdated showerheads can lead to weak water flow and an underwhelming shower experience. Upgrading can dramatically improve pressure and performance, making your daily routine a lot more enjoyable.
Cracks, Chips, or Wear in Shower Fixtures
Visible damage to tiles, bases, or fittings not only looks tired but may also affect waterproofing. Installing a new shower is a smart move if your current setup is looking worse for wear.
Outdated Shower Design or Functionality
Modern showers offer better water efficiency, stylish designs, and user-friendly features. Whether you’re after a sleek rain shower or a dual-head system, replacing an outdated shower improves both aesthetics and performance.
Planning a Bathroom Renovation
No bathroom renovation is complete without a modern shower upgrade. It’s a central fixture that deserves thoughtful installation to match your new layout and style.

Highly recommendPatricia Hoyle The Plain English Expert 'I have used Good Hands Plumbing & Drains for multiple plumbing and roofing jobs including clearing a drain of highly compacted roots, lining old terracotta pipes and fixing several roof leaks.

For each job, I was provided with a detailed option sheet and shown videos and photographs both before and after the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install a new shower?
Most standard installations are completed within a day. More complex setups, like custom walk-ins or full remodels, may take longer depending on the scope of work.
Can I install a shower myself?
It’s possible to install a shower on your own, but risky. Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, poor drainage, or non-compliance with plumbing codes. Hiring a licensed plumber ensures everything is done right the first time.
What type of shower is best for my bathroom?
That depends on your space, style, and needs. Walk-ins are great for accessibility and modern looks, while framed showers offer a classic and cost-effective solution.
Does shower installation include plumbing modifications?
Yes—if needed, we’ll adjust existing water supply lines and waste pipes to ensure proper function and compliance. Every job is tailored to your specific layout.
