Shower Installation in Market Harborough

A dependable shower is the first thing most Market Harborough homes ask for — maybe the old one's died in a Little Bowden terrace, maybe there's a bath going unused in a Lubenham cottage. 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.

What the shower's fixing to decides a Market Harborough job — the solid Victorian brick in Little Bowden calls for different work than the plasterboard walls out at Farndon Fields. 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 our most popular jobs across Market Harborough. Plenty of homes in Farndon Fields, Little Bowden, 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.

Budget showers don't survive long here — Market Harborough's hard water gets into the valve and cartridge and finishes them early. Hard water in Market Harborough is the elephant in the room for any shower install. Anglian 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.

Shower Installation Questions

A straightforward like-for-like shower replacement typically takes half a day. If the tray is being replaced, pipework moved, or retiling needed, it's usually a full day. Bath-to-shower conversions take 2–4 days depending on the scope.
Yes. The installer we connect you with removes the bath, caps or reroutes the plumbing, prepares the floor, fits a shower tray, tiles the walls, and installs 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. Your installer will 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, your installer connects to that. If not, or if you're upgrading to a higher-powered unit, a new circuit may be needed — the electrical work is arranged as part of the job.
Absolutely. An over-bath shower is the most common setup in the UK. Your installer fits the shower unit, installs a bath screen or rail, and tiles the surround. It gives you the best of both without losing the bath.
Yes. The shower area can be tiled as part of the install — walls behind the shower, around the tray, and any exposed areas. Your installer uses waterproof adhesive and grout rated for wet environments. If you want full wall tiling, that can be done too.
Low pressure is common in older Market Harborough 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. Your plumber tests your pressure and recommends the best solution.
Yes — Little Bowden, Farndon Fields, The Grange, Kibworth, East Farndon, Great Glen, and all the villages around Market Harborough.
