Shower Installation For Melbourne Homes
Whether you’re upgrading your existing shower or adding a shower into your newly renovated bathroom, the plumbing needs to suit your property.
New Shower Installation
Installing a new shower may require new hot and cold water connections, drainage pipework and suitable waste positioning. Our plumbers assess your bathroom layout and existing plumbing to determine what is needed for the installation. We make sure to install your new shower with the utmost care and attention, always testing it after the fact to make sure it’s safe.
Shower Replacement
Replacing your shower can be straightforward when the existing plumbing is in good condition. However, if the pipes are damaged, the connections need changing or the new shower is completely different, extra care and plumbing work is needed.
Installing A Shower During A Bathroom Renovation
Planning a bathroom renovation? It's worth considering the plumbing before finalising your new shower layout. Moving a shower can involve relocating water supply pipes and drainage, which may add to the work required.
WP Plumbing can assess the plumbing requirements and carry out the necessary work to suit your renovation plans.
What Does Installing A New Shower Involve?
The work depends on whether you're replacing an existing shower or installing one in a new location. But generally, our shower installations involve:
- Checking the existing plumbing: Assessing water supply pipes, connections and drainage.
- Preparing the pipework: Modifying hot and cold water connections where required.
- Connecting the shower fittings: Installing the necessary plumbing connections, taps and showerhead.
- Testing the installation: Checking water flow, drainage and plumbing connections for leaks.
Moving a shower or installing one where there wasn't previously a shower may require additional pipework and drainage modifications. Waterproofing, tiling and shower screen installation may need to be arranged separately.
Should I Repair or Replace My Shower?
This is a common question we get when we are out on the jobsite and for good reason. Sometimes a complete replacement isn’t the way to go. A leaking tap or a faulty showerhead can be repaired quickly, while damaged fittings or recurring blockages might mean it's best to invest in a shower replacement.
What Should I Consider Before Installing a New Shower In My Home?
A few decisions can affect the plumbing work required and the overall cost of your shower installation.
- Shower location: Keeping the existing layout may reduce the need to relocate pipes and drainage.
- Shower fittings: Your chosen mixer, taps and showerhead need to suit the existing plumbing.
- Water pressure: The water supply needs to be suitable for the shower fittings you've selected.
- Drainage: The shower waste must align with the layout and drain water effectively.
- Waterproofing: Plumbing and waterproofing need to be coordinated to protect the surrounding bathroom structure.
