Understanding Your Shower Installation Needs

Before you get in touch with a local shower fitter, it's important to understand exactly what you need from their services.

If you've noticed any of the following problems with your existing shower, it's a sign it's time to get your shower replaced:

• Water leaking from fittings and enclosure - If your shower is leaking from connection points or from the shower enclosure itself, and you find yourself constantly mopping up, it's a sign your shower needs upgrading.
• Issues with water pressure and temperature - Inconsistent water temperatures fluctuating from hot to cold, together with low water pressure, can mean your shower needs attention from a shower specialist.
• Outdated design or undersized shower - While these factors can be less performance-based, if the shower no longer fits your home's style or if it's simply too small for your family to use, you may want to consider upgrading it.

What Can a Shower Installer Do?

Here are some of the tasks a shower fitter can offer:

• Brand new shower installation, including power showers, electric showers*, and steam shower installation
• Replacing an existing shower and removing the old shower
• Upgrading or repairing the components of an existing shower

*Any showers using electricity, such as an electric shower, must be installed by a shower fitter who is Part P certified to safely work with electricity.

You’ll also want to take this time to consider any specific features or design preferences you’re considering for your new shower. Giving your shower fitter as much information in advance can help to speed up the process.

Shower Fitter Recommendations

Along with using MyJobQuote to find shower fitters near you, you may also want to ask the people around you for their recommendations.

You can ask friends, family members, neighbours and work colleagues for their experiences with local shower fitters to see if anyone recommends someone they've used before.

But, it's important to always verify the shower fitter's credentials before hiring them to ensure they're qualified to work on your shower safely.

Check Shower Installer Credentials

It's important to check the shower fitter you choose has the right qualifications for the job.

On MyJobQuote, it's easy to compare shower specialists to give you peace of mind that you've made the right choice.

Your shower fitter should have the following:

• NVQs or City & Guilds qualifications - These should be in related topics to shower fitting, such as Plumbing and Heating, Fitted Interiors, or Bathroom Installation Skills.
• Electrical certifications - If you're having an electric shower installed, make sure your shower fitter has Part P certification to allow them to legally and safely work with electricity.
• Experience in shower fitting - Take a look at the plumber's past projects, and make sure they match up with the type of work you need done.
• Public Liability Insurance - Your shower fitter should be insured so that both you and them are covered in the event of any accidents or damages during the shower installation.

It's also a good idea to look at the shower fitter's reviews from previous customers to assess the quality of their work, professionalism, and any photos or videos of past work they may have available.

Confirm Shower Fitting Materials and Technique

Once you're satisfied that the shower fitter has the right credentials, discuss their proposed fitting materials and techniques.

Ask each of your shortlisted contractors about the materials and techniques they specialise in (e.g. tile installations, customer builds, glass enclosures, etc.).

You’ll also want to ask about their experience with different types of showers and the approaches they take to specific bathroom installation challenges.

The purpose of asking these questions is to ensure that they are the right person for the job before you agree to work with them.

Clarify the Contract With Your Shower Fitter

Once you’re satisfied with your chosen shower fitter, it’s time to request a written service agreement.

This agreement should outline the following:

• A written breakdown of the scope of work, including the proposed methods to complete the shower fitting
• An itemised list of pricing, including parts, labour, waste removal, and VAT (if applicable)
• Any guarantees or warranties on the shower or the work itself
• Clear payment terms detailing how and when to pay your shower fitter

If you're unsure about anything in the contract, request clarification at this stage - fixing problems before the work starts is easier.

Monitor the Shower Fitting Process

Maintaining contact between yourself and your shower fitter during the project is important to ensure everything is happening as agreed.

And, if you notice something you're unsure of, don't hesitate to raise these concerns with your shower fitter.

Don’t be afraid to shine a light on any issues during the fitting, such as plumbing challenges or anything requiring an adjustment to the original plan.

Raising concerns and issues can help ensure the perfect fit and make for a smoother project.

Finding the right local shower fitters requires careful consideration and research. But with the right shower fitting company by your side, you can benefit from a stylish and functional bathroom alteration.
