Shower Installation in Potton
Georgian and Victorian properties around Market Square often have original bathroom layouts that haven’t been touched in decades — cramped cubicles, slow-draining trays, or tired over-bath setups. We fit showers properly: real plumbing, proper tiling, proper waterproofing. Not a handyman job held together with sealant and hope.
Across the 1960s and 70s estates on Potton’s edges, bath-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested jobs. These homes typically have a single family bathroom with a bath that nobody uses. Ripping it out and fitting a walk-in shower gives you more space, easier access, and a bathroom that works for how you actually live. We handle the full job — removal, plumbing, floor prep, tray, tiling, screen, and the shower unit itself.
Homes backing onto Potton Wood and the newer infill developments along the B1040 corridor tend to have modern plumbing but builder-grade shower units that let you down within a few years. We replace like-for-like or upgrade — your call. If the old tray is cracked or the tiles behind are blown, we sort that too, not just swap the unit and leave problems hidden behind the wall.
Anglian Water’s supply through Potton is some of the hardest in the country, and it takes a toll on every shower fitting in town. Cheap mixer cartridges scale solid, shower heads clog, and thermostatic valves lose their accuracy. We spec scale-resistant components as standard, and if you want longer-term protection we can 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.
