In addition to keeping Portsmouth homes warm, Plumber Portsmouth Engineers also assists in bathroom renovation. There are some things you need to consider before the installation of a new shower. 

1. Select the Proper Shower Type
 
The ideal option for your house will rely on your water system, pressure, and personal tastes. Not all showers are made equal. The primary types include:
 
 Electric showers: Perfect for situations where your boiler breaks down or is frequently used, these showers heat water as needed.


Mixer showers are ideal for houses with a reliable hot water supply since they combine hot and cold water to provide a constant temperature.


Power Showers: Ideal for low-pressure systems, these showers come with a pump to increase water pressure.


2. Check the Water Pressure

Water pressure is a crucial component of shower performance. You could need a power shower or pump if your pressure is low. After evaluating your system, our engineers may suggest the appropriate configuration for optimum performance and flow.

 
3. Installation: Let the Professionals Do It
 
Plumbing is only one aspect of installing a shower; other aspects include electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, and safety concerns. Our highly skilled experts make sure everything is installed professionally and safely, causing the least amount of disturbance to your house.
