Shower Installation in Cambourne

A new shower is the single cheapest way to transform a tired bathroom in Cambourne without committing to a full refit. Whether you're replacing a tired developer-grade mixer shower in a Great Cambourne home, swapping an over-bath shower for a proper enclosure in a Lower Cambourne family bathroom, or converting a never-used bath into a walk-in shower in one of the older Bourn cottages, the right install makes a real difference to how the room feels and works.

In Cambourne we see a lot of variety despite the consistent housing stock. The original Great Cambourne homes were fitted with developer-grade thermostatic mixer showers that have now reached the end of their first replacement cycle. Lower and Upper Cambourne have similar specs but slightly newer. Cambourne West properties are newest but the developer-grade fittings still tend to be the first thing owners want to upgrade. And in the surrounding villages we work on bath-to-shower conversions in older properties where the original suites left no separate cubicle.

Hard water in Cambourne is what eats showers fast. The chalk supply running across South Cambridgeshire chews through cheap shower heads, scale-blocks mixer cartridges within a couple of years, and clogs the aerators on developer-grade fittings worst of all. We only fit scale-resistant components and can talk you through whether a whole-house softener is worth adding to keep the install in good shape long-term.

Shower Installation Questions

A straightforward like-for-like shower replacement typically takes half a day. If we're replacing the tray, moving pipework, or retiling, it's usually a full day. Bath-to-shower conversions take 2–4 days depending on the scope.
Yes. We remove the bath, cap or reroute the plumbing, prepare the floor, fit a shower tray, tile the walls, and install the shower unit and screen. The space where the bath was gives you a generous shower area.
It depends on your system. Electric showers heat water on demand from the cold supply, so they work independently of your boiler. Mixer showers blend hot and cold from your existing supply and generally give better flow and pressure. We'll advise based on your setup.
Electric showers need their own dedicated circuit from the consumer unit. If your existing circuit can handle the kW rating, we connect to that. If not, or if you're upgrading to a higher-powered unit, a new circuit may be needed — we arrange the electrical work as part of the job.
Absolutely. An over-bath shower is the most common setup in the UK. We fit the shower unit, install a bath screen or rail, and tile the surround. It gives you the best of both without losing the bath.
Yes. We can tile the shower area as part of the install — walls behind the shower, around the tray, and any exposed areas. We use waterproof adhesive and grout rated for wet environments. If you want full wall tiling, we can do that too.
Low pressure is common in older Cambourne properties. Options include a pumped shower, a pressurised unvented cylinder, or an electric shower which doesn't rely on stored hot water pressure at all. We test your pressure and recommend the best solution.
Yes — Great Cambourne, Lower Cambourne, Bourn, Comberton, Caldecote, Bourn, and all the villages around Cambourne.
