Shower Installation in Royston
Royston's chalk-aquifer water destroys cheap shower cartridges and low-quality shower heads unusually fast, so a shower install here is partly a question of specifying fittings that'll last. Whether your shower has packed in, you're fed up with the bath, or you just want something better — we fit showers properly. Not a handyman job with sealant and hope. Proper plumbing, proper tiling, proper waterproofing.
Most shower installs across Royston are clean, contained jobs that don't touch the rest of the bathroom. Most shower replacements are clean, tidy jobs with minimal disruption. You tell us what you want, we quote it, and we fit it. If the old tray is cracked or the tiles behind are blown, we sort that too — not just swap the unit and leave you with problems behind the wall.
Bath-to-shower conversions are arguably our most-requested job across Royston, where the town's older two-bath-per-household stock is steadily being converted to one-shower-one-bath. Bath-to-shower conversions are one of our most popular jobs across Royston. Plenty of homes in Kneesworth, Therfield, 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. We handle the full job — removal, plumbing, floor prep, tray, tiling, screen, and the shower unit itself.
Royston tap water hardness measures well into the 'very hard' category on the UK scale, and for showers that means protection-grade fittings are worth the small premium. Hard water in Royston is the elephant in the room for any shower install. Affinity Water's chalk supply destroys cheap shower heads and shower mixer cartridges within a couple of years, so we recommend good-quality scale-resistant components 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.
