Step 2: What type of shower do you need? If you’re replacing a shower and you don’t want to re-tile, it’s worth checking the position of the hot and cold water pipes and the shape and size of the replacement shower.

Electric showers take water from your cold water supply and warm it by passing it safely over heating elements contained within the unit.
Cold mains supply only.
Our Eco showers use flow regulators to limit the maximum flow of water, and our Eco showerhead uses aerating technology to create the sensation of a normal, drenching flow while using a lot less water.
