The Ultimate Guide to Shower Installation: What Every Homeowner Should Know
If you're planning a bathroom renovation, one of the first things you'll be thinking about is your shower installation. Whether you’re upgrading a tired old suite or designing your dream bathroom from scratch, getting the shower right is key. At Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom Company, your go-to bathroom supplier in Dulwich and London, we’ve helped countless homeowners bring their bathroom visions to life, and we’re here to help you too.
Choose the Right Type of Shower
First things first – what kind of shower do you want? There are several types to choose from, including:
● Mixer showers – ideal for homes with plenty of hot water.
● Electric showers – great for energy efficiency and instant hot water.
● Power showers – perfect for low-pressure systems.
● Digital showers – modern, sleek, and smart-tech friendly.
Not sure which one works best for your home? A chat with a trusted bathroom supplier (like us!) can help you narrow it down.
Think About Your Water Pressure
Before you dive into buying a shower, it’s important to check your home’s water pressure. Some showers need high pressure to work properly, while others are better suited to gravity-fed systems. If you’re not sure what pressure you’ve got, a plumber or installer will be able to help. Or pop into our Dulwich showroom, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
Plan the Layout Carefully
When it comes to shower installation, layout is everything. Do you want a walk-in shower or a shower bath combo? Will your existing plumbing need to move? These are important questions to ask before you start tearing tiles off the wall.
Good layout planning also helps you avoid expensive surprises later. A full bathroom renovation can be a big investment, so getting it right from the start is worth the effort.
Choose Quality Fixtures and Fittings
There’s nothing worse than a shower that starts leaking or looking tatty a few months in. Investing in quality fixtures from a reliable bathroom supplier ensures your bathroom not only looks amazing but lasts for years to come. At Bells, we stock top brands and stylish ranges to suit every budget, whether you're going minimalist or full-on luxury.
Hire the Right Installer
You might be handy with a wrench, but for a proper shower installation, we always recommend using a professional. A skilled installer will make sure your shower is watertight, plumbed correctly, and up to UK building regs. Trust us – it’ll save you a lot of stress (and mop buckets) down the line.
