How Our Bradford-On-Avon Shower Fitting Works

Every home is different, especially in historic towns like Bradford-On-Avon. Our installation process is designed to be smooth, safe, and tailored to your property. Here is what you can expect when you book one of our expert shower fitters:Initial Assessment: We check your current water pressure, pipework condition, and electrical cable sizing to ensure compatibility with your chosen unit.Safe Isolation: We turn off the water supply and install an isolation valve if one is not already present, ensuring future maintenance is simple and mess-free.Compliant Installation: We fit your new electric shower using WRAS approved components, securely mounting the unit and connecting it to the cold water mains.Testing and Commissioning: Finally, we perform comprehensive water pressure testing and check for any minor leaks, ensuring the shower operates perfectly before we leave.

Why Does My Electric Shower Have Low Pressure?

If your existing electric shower is producing little more than a trickle, you are certainly not alone. A sudden or gradual drop in flow rate is a common frustration for many homeowners. Often, this is caused by a severe build-up of limescale inside the internal heating element or the showerhead itself.In other cases, the issue might stem from broader problems with your home water supply or internal pipework. Upgrading to a modern, higher-kilowatt electric shower can significantly improve your daily routine. Alternatively, if you run a different type of plumbing setup, you might benefit from our shower pump installation or dedicated water pressure repair services to get things flowing properly again.

Combating Hard Water Scaling in Wiltshire

Living in Bradford-On-Avon and the wider Wiltshire area means dealing with hard water. Over time, the high mineral content causes limescale to accumulate rapidly on heating elements. This forces your electric shower to work much harder to heat the water, eventually leading to premature component failure.As your local bathroom plumbing experts, we provide tailored advice on selecting the most durable shower units specifically designed to withstand hard water areas. We ensure that all fixtures meet strict UK building regulations and utilise WRAS approved materials, giving your new shower the longest possible lifespan.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our WRAS-compliant electric shower installation and plumbing services in Frome, Somerset & Wiltshire.

Can I replace my old mixer shower with an electric one?

+

Yes, it is usually possible, but it requires running a new cold water feed from the mains and a dedicated electrical cable from your fuse board. We can assess your bathroom and tell you exactly what would be involved in making the switch.

Why does my electric shower keep going cold?

+

This is often caused by a drop in water pressure or a failing heating element. In our area, limescale is a common culprit. If the internal filter is blocked or the element is scaled up, the safety cut-out may trigger, causing the water to go cold. We can often fix this with a thorough service or by replacing the faulty component.

Does a higher kilowatt shower mean more pressure?

+

Not exactly, but a higher kW rating (like 9.5kW or 10.5kW) can heat more water per minute. This means you get a better flow rate, especially in the winter when the incoming mains water is much colder. It feels like more pressure because more water is coming through the head.

How long does it take to install a replacement shower?

+

If we are swapping like-for-like—meaning the plumbing and wiring are already in place—we can usually have the job finished in about an hour or two. If it’s a brand-new installation where we have to run new pipes, it will take longer. We always give you a clear timeframe before we start.
