Shower Installation in Cottenham
Cottenham's water is drawn off the chalk and delivered hard by Cambridge Water, and showers here feel it first. Whether your shower has packed in, you're fed up with the bath, or you just want something better — the installers we connect you with fit showers properly. Not a handyman job with sealant and hope. Proper plumbing, proper tiling, proper waterproofing.
In the older rebuilt cottages along the High Street, a shower is usually going into a room that never anticipated one. Most shower replacements are clean, tidy jobs with minimal disruption. You tell us what you want, your installer quotes it and fits it. If the old tray is cracked or the tiles behind are blown, that gets sorted too — not just swapping the unit and leaving you with problems behind the wall.
Bath-to-shower conversions are one of the most popular jobs across Cottenham. Plenty of homes in Telegraph Street, Denmark Road, and the town centre have a bathroom with a bath that nobody uses. Ripping it out and fitting a proper walk-in shower gives you more space, easier access, and a bathroom that actually works for how you live. Your installer handles the full job — removal, plumbing, floor prep, tray, tiling, screen, and the shower unit itself.
Scale is what kills a shower in this village — valves and cartridges fur up long before anything mechanical fails. Hard water in Cottenham is the elephant in the room for any shower install. Cambridge Water's chalk supply destroys cheap shower heads and shower mixer cartridges within a couple of years, so good-quality scale-resistant components are recommended for any new shower install. If you want longer-term protection for the install, we can also talk you through whether a water softener is worth fitting at the same time — it pays for itself in extended life on every fitting in the bathroom.
