Why Choose BC Plumbing for Electric Shower Installation in Frome?

How Our Radstock Shower Installation Works

We believe in doing things right the first time. When you book us for a shower installation in Radstock, we take a thorough, step-by-step approach to ensure long-lasting performance.First, we assess your current mains water pressure and isolate the water supply safely using your stopcock or an existing isolation valve. We then carefully remove the old unit, ensuring no damage to your tiling or pipework. Once the new shower is securely mounted and the plumbing connections are made, we rigorously test the thermostatic controls, check for consistent pressure, and ensure there are no hidden leaks behind the casing.Please note: While we expertly handle all the plumbing, pipework, and mechanical installation, any new electrical circuits must be completed by a certified electrician. We regularly work alongside local electricians for seamless new installations.

The Benefits of Professional Electric Shower Fitting

Fitting a shower might seem like a straightforward job, but relying on an experienced plumber guarantees a safe and durable result. One of the biggest challenges in Somerset and Bath and North East Somerset is the hard water. Limescale build-up can quickly ruin a poorly installed or incompatible shower unit.By choosing BC Plumbing, you benefit from our local knowledge. We can advise on units designed to handle hard water scaling, extending the lifespan of your shower. A professional installation also guarantees that your water pressure is optimised, your seals are watertight to prevent costly damage, and your system runs as efficiently as possible.

Regulatory and Local Compliance Guaranteed

Safety and compliance are at the heart of everything we do. As highly trained local plumbers holding Plumbing Part 1 and 2 qualifications, we ensure every job meets strict UK building regulations. We strictly adhere to WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) guidelines, meaning all valves, pipes, and fittings used in your bathroom are approved for safe use with mains water.Our expertise does not stop at showers. With full G3 Certification, we are also fully qualified to work on complex unvented hot water cylinders and high-pressure systems. For your complete peace of mind, every job we undertake is backed by comprehensive Public Liability Insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Showers

Why is my electric shower water pressure so low? Low pressure is often caused by fluctuating mains water supply, a blocked micro-filter inside the shower, or heavy limescale scaling in the showerhead. We can diagnose the exact cause quickly.Can you replace my old electric shower directly? Yes. A like-for-like replacement is usually the quickest and most cost-effective option, provided the existing pipework and electrical cables are in safe, working condition.Do I need a shower pump? Electric showers are connected directly to the mains cold water supply, so they cannot be pumped. If you suffer from generally poor mains pressure, we can explore other solutions, such as upgrading your broader home plumbing system.

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.
