Shower Installation (Non-Electric)

What non-electric shower installation covers

A non-electric shower is supplied by your hot and cold water system, usually via a mixer or thermostatic valve. Installation focuses on safe plumbing connections, correct operation, and a tidy, secure finish.

• Installation of mixer or thermostatic shower valves
• Like-for-like replacement of an existing non-electric shower
• Isolation of hot and cold supplies before work starts
• Correct fitting of valves, elbows, tails, hoses and riser rail where applicable
• Checks for leaks, stable flow and correct temperature control
• Advice on valve type, water pressure suitability and day-to-day use

When this service is a good fit

This service is ideal if your current shower is leaking, hard to control, or inconsistent in temperature. It also suits bathroom updates where you want improved safety and comfort, for example a thermostatic shower to reduce the risk of scalding. Landlords and small commercial premises often choose it to reduce call-outs caused by worn fittings and drips.

How installation is typically delivered

You’ll be asked a few practical questions first, such as what type of system you have, where the shower is located, and whether you want a like-for-like swap or an upgrade. On the day, the water supplies are isolated, the existing unit (if any) is removed, and the new shower is fitted and connected. The installation is then tested under pressure to confirm there are no leaks and that temperature and flow behave as expected.

After installation: checks and next steps

Once fitted, you’ll be shown how to use the controls and how to keep the shower running well, such as basic cleaning of filters or handset nozzles where relevant. If any issues show up soon after, like a slow drip from a connection, it’s usually straightforward to diagnose because the pipework and fittings have been installed and tested methodically. If you are planning tiling or other bathroom work, it’s best to coordinate timing so the shower position and fixings are final before surfaces are finished.
