A thermostatic mixer on a gravity-fed hot water cylinder will dribble; an electric shower undersized for your supply will fluctuate cold every time someone runs a tap; an unmatched pump can make a power shower deafeningly loud. We assess your water pressure, hot water type (combi, unvented or gravity) and household demand before recommending a shower. Then we install it with proper isolators, secure brackets, neat tiling reinstatement where possible, and full commissioning before sign-off. We also repair existing showers — failed cartridges, scaled-up heads, faulty solenoids on electric units, worn diverters — without immediately defaulting to a full replacement. ## Real Work Examples ## Common Shower Problems Worth Solving Most shower complaints — weak flow, fluctuating temperature, sudden cold blasts, low-pressure dribble — aren't the shower's fault. They're symptoms of the wrong shower for the system, or an installation that ignored basic plumbing rules. Temperature jumping when a tap is run elsewhere usually means a non-thermostatic mixer or undersized supply - Weak flow from an electric shower is usually a blocked inlet filter or undersized cable/breaker - Scale build-up halves the life of cartridges and showerheads in hard water areas - Pumped power showers need correctly sized pumps — undersized = no flow, oversized = noise and wear - Mixer showers fed from gravity systems need a minimum 1m head and 22mm hot supply to work properly ## Our Process 1 ### System Survey We check your water type, pressure, cable run (for electric) and flow rate before recommending a shower type and model. 2 ### Supply or Fit We can supply quality showers at trade prices or install one you've sourced — either way, the workmanship is the same. 3 ### Safe Installation All plumbing isolated, secure mounting, dedicated electrical isolators or RCBO for electric showers (electrician partner for new circuits). 4 ### Pressure & Flow Test Hot and cold pressures balanced, thermostatic protection tested, flow rate confirmed at the head. 5 ### Commission & Tidy Full operation demonstrated, manual and warranty paperwork handed over, work area cleaned, old shower removed. ## Why Choose Conroy ### Right Shower, First Time Matched to your water pressure and hot water type — no compromise on flow or temperature stability. ### All Types Installed Electric, manual mixer, thermostatic mixer, pumped power shower — we install them all properly. ### Repair First Failed cartridges, scaled heads and faulty solenoids are often a £30 repair, not a £400 replacement. ### Trade-Price Supply Quality showers from Mira, Triton, Aqualisa and Bristan sourced at trade rates if you'd like us to supply. ### Safe Electrics Electric showers fitted with proper isolators and tested. New circuits arranged via our trusted electrician partner. ### Clean Finish Old shower removed, tiles protected, no silicone smears — a tidy, professional finish every time. ## Technical Detail ### Electric Showers Take cold water in and heat it instantly. Independent of your hot water system, so ideal when hot water is limited. Power ratings (8.5kW, 9.5kW, 10.5kW) determine flow — higher kW = warmer shower. Need a dedicated cable and RCBO. ### Manual Mixer Showers Blend hot and cold from your existing supplies. Cheap to fit but temperature can fluctuate when other taps are used. Best on systems with steady pressure. ### Thermostatic Mixer Showers Have a temperature-stable cartridge that compensates for pressure changes elsewhere in the house. The standard recommendation for safety and comfort, especially in family bathrooms. ### Power Showers A mixer with a built-in pump, designed for gravity-fed systems. Provides high flow rate from a low-pressure source. Need correctly sized pipework and a power supply for the pump. ### Showers and Combi Boilers Most combi boilers can support a single mixer shower comfortably. Running a second hot tap or shower at the same time will reduce flow and may chill the shower briefly. Higher-output boilers (32-42kW) handle this better. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">What's the best shower for a combi boiler? ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">Can you install an electric shower? ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">My shower is scaled up — can it be repaired? ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">How long does a shower installation take? ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">Do you remove the old shower?
