Shower installation

Takes about 30 min

Whether you are adding a rain shower, a hand shower on a slide rail or swapping a basic head for a better one, a verified plumber fits it neatly. The plumber removes the old head or arm, wraps the threads, fixes the new arm or rail level on the wall and attaches the head and hose with fresh washers.

A simple fit takes about 30 minutes and starts from the price shown on this page. Extra work, such as drilling tiles for a slide rail or fitting a ceiling-mounted arm, is priced and agreed first. Buy your shower set before the visit and keep every part together, including the wall plugs and screws that came in the box.

Questions about this service

Can you fit a rain shower on my existing point?

Usually, yes, with a longer arm. If the head needs a ceiling arm or a new point, it is priced and agreed first.

Will drilling crack my tiles?

The plumber drills slowly with a tile bit and drills at a joint where possible to reduce the risk.

My water pressure is low. Will a big rain shower work?

Large heads need good pressure. The plumber checks your flow first and will tell you honestly if it will feel weak.
