Our Shower Installation and Replacement Services
At MIK Plumbing, we install and replace all major types of showers. Whether you want a simple swap or a complete bathroom transformation, we have the skills and experience to deliver outstanding results.
Electric Shower Installation
Electric showers are a popular choice for UK homes because they heat water on demand and do not rely on your central heating system. This makes them ideal for smaller bathrooms, en-suites, or homes where the hot water supply is limited. Our team can install a new electric shower or replace an existing unit quickly and safely, ensuring all electrical connections comply with current regulations.
Mixer Shower Installation
Mixer showers blend hot and cold water from your existing plumbing system to deliver a consistent, comfortable temperature. They come in two main varieties: exposed (where the pipework is visible) and concealed (where the pipes are hidden behind the wall for a sleek, modern look). Mixer showers work well with combi boilers, system boilers, or gravity-fed systems, and we can advise on the best option for your home.
Power Shower Installation
If you crave a high-pressure, invigorating shower experience, a power shower could be the perfect choice. Power showers use an integrated pump to boost water pressure, delivering a strong, steady flow regardless of your home’s existing water pressure. Our engineers can assess your plumbing system and recommend a suitable power shower unit, then install it to the highest standard.
Digital and Thermostatic Shower Installation
Modern digital and thermostatic showers offer precise temperature control and a luxurious feel. Digital showers allow you to set your preferred temperature and flow with a remote control or touchscreen interface, while thermostatic valves maintain a constant temperature even if the water pressure fluctuates elsewhere in the house. These systems are increasingly popular in new bathrooms and high-end renovations across West Yorkshire.

- Testing and Demonstration — Once the installation is complete, we test the system thoroughly to ensure everything works perfectly. We will also show you how to operate your new shower and answer any questions.

FAQs
A simple like-for-like shower replacement usually takes between half a day and a full day. More extensive installations -- such as moving pipework, changing the shower type, or fitting into a newly tiled area -- can take one to three days. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your home, and we will always give you a clear timeline before we start.
Yes, it is always advisable to use a qualified professional for shower replacement. Showers involve electrical connections, waterproofing, and precise pipework that can cause serious problems if not done correctly. Using a Gas Safe registered or Part P qualified installer ensures your safety and compliance with UK building regulations. A professional installation also protects your manufacturer warranty and can prevent costly water damage in the future.
The best shower for your bathroom depends on your existing plumbing system, water pressure, and personal preferences. If you have a combi boiler, a mixer shower is usually the most efficient and cost-effective option. Electric showers are ideal for homes with low water pressure or where you want independent hot water. Power showers work well if you have a hot water tank and want a high-pressure experience. Digital showers offer the ultimate in modern convenience and style. Not sure what is right for you? Get in touch with MIK Plumbing and we will advise you on the best solution for your home and budget.
