The service
A shower is only as good as what's behind the wall
Most shower problems, weak flow, temperature swings, leaks and mould, come from how it was installed, not the shower itself. Correct pipe sizing, a well-supported tray and properly prepared walls make the difference between a shower that lasts and one that fails in a couple of years.
John fits new showers in existing bathrooms, en-suites and as part of full renovations. Where possible, pipework is concealed for a clean finish, and electrics for electric showers are handled by John's electrical contractor.
You get one person coordinating plumbing, electrics and tiling, and a site left tidy at the end of every day.

What happens if you wait
What a badly fitted shower leads to
Shower leaks are slow and hidden. By the time you see a mark on the ceiling, the damage behind the tiles has usually been building for a while.
Water behind tiles
Unprepared walls and failed grout let water soak into plasterboard, which softens and loosens tiles.
Ceiling damage below
Poorly supported trays flex, break their seal and leak into the floor and ceiling underneath.
Mould and smells
Damp behind the enclosure and poor ventilation lead to black mould that keeps coming back.
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Choosing a shower that doesn't suit your water system
- Sitting a tray on an uneven or unsupported floor
- Tiling directly onto unsuitable wall board
- Using sealant to hide gaps instead of fixing them
- Ignoring ventilation in the room

In detail
Types of shower we install
Choosing the right shower depends on your water system, space and how you like to shower.
Mixer showers
Mixer showers blend hot and cold water from your existing supply. Thermostatic versions hold a steady temperature even when someone runs a tap elsewhere.
Electric showers
Electric showers heat cold water on demand, so you have hot water even when the boiler is off. They need a dedicated electrical supply, installed by John's electrical contractor.
Concealed valves and rainfall heads
Hiding the valve in the wall gives a clean, modern look. This needs planning before walls are finished, so it often suits renovations.
Enclosures and walk-in screens
Quadrant and square enclosures suit corners; walk-in screens suit larger spaces. John advises on what will contain spray in your room.
Trays and floors
Stone resin and low-profile trays are the most common choices. Every tray needs a level, rigid base to prevent flexing and leaks.
En-suites and small rooms
Compact rooms benefit from sliding doors, corner enclosures and careful positioning so the door doesn't clash with other fittings.
