Install the adjustable riser legs, then proceed to adjust them to an even height. Make use of a spirit level to make sure the tray is flat and level, then connect the tray’s waste outlet.
  2. Make sure that the riser legs are properly adjusted as this will make for a smooth fall to pass out the waste. Usually, 50mm fall per metre of pipework will be a good guide. Once done, ensure to fit the centre leg.
  3. Determine the appropriate route to the waste pipe from the waste trap inside the tray.
  4. Put the tray. Make use of a spirit level to ensure the tray is level to eliminate drainage issues and avoid overflow.
  5. Examine the riser legs to see that they’re engaged with tightened up lock nuts.
  6. Cover the gaps around the shower tray’s surroundings using the side panel.
  7. Use a sealant to secure the shower tray between the wall and the tray.
  8. Fix the side panels to the shower tray to conceal the pipework from view.
How to fit an electric shower?

First and foremost, it must be stated that replacing an existing electric shower is much easier than fitting one from new. This is primarily due to the fact that the main components required which includes the water pipes as well as electrical connections will have already been established. In this post, we’re going to assume that all these are already in place which means you’re replacing an existing electric shower with a new one. It’ll also be an advantage if the preferred electric shower features cable and pipe entry points at the top and bottom as well as the rear and side so as to allow for more flexibility when it gets to routing cables and pipes. If you’re not confident enough to pull off this task, then it’s strong advisable to call in a professional who can guarantee the best results the first time. Here are the steps you can follow to fit your electric shower:

  • Disconnect the power supply as you probably know water and electricity aren’t particularly the best of friends. Once done, you’ll also need to turn off the water supply
  • Remove the shower unit. Many shower units are secured with four screws which makes the removal rather straightforward.
  • Examine the shower connection points to determine if they’re in the same place on the new unit as they were on the old one.
  • Install the new shower unit. First, you’ll have to mark the position of the new units on the wall using a pencil. If the new units don’t possess the same silhouette as the old one, you’ll have to drill new ones preferably using a masonry drill bit.
  • Check your installation at both the electrical and water supply to ensure the connection is made correctly.
  • Test your new electric shower by turning the power and water supplies back on.
How to fit a shower screen

They’re also able to offer a great alternative to shower curtains which can appear dated over time and are also considered not to be as hygienic as shower screens. If you’re looking to have a shower screen installed, you have two options – do it yourself or call in a professional.

In this post, we’re going to take you through the shower screen installation process to enable you make a hassle and error free installation. Let’s take a look!

 

  1. Examine the area for pipework. Firstly, you’d have to turn off the water at the mains before starting the task. Determine whether the wall you’ll be fitting to is solid or plasterboard, then use a multi-purpose detector to discover any pipes near to where you’ll be drilling.
  2. Place the u-channel. Position the shower screen u-channel against the wall at 40mm depth from the shower’s edge. The u-channel should sit flush with the shower – use a spirit level to ensure that it’s level.
  3. Mark the screw holes’ spots once the u-channel is level.
  4. Drill the holes into the tiles where the marks have been made then put in the plugs.
  5. Secure the u-channel with a sealant along the back of the u-channel.
  6. Further secure the u-channel using screws and fixings. Once done, proceed to seal the channel’s bottom to the shower using a sealant.
  7. Put the shower screen into the u-channel after placing the rubber seal along the glass screen’s bottom.
  8. Secure the shower screen by drilling holes into the frame and using screws with cover caps to finish it off.
  9. Seal the outer edges of the shower screen.
What is a thermostatic shower

A thermostatic shower is simply a shower that only needs to be set at a given temperature and it automatically maintains this set water temperature all by itself. Typically, this type of shower functions with the three primary types of water system available in the UK. Thermostatic showers are very popular in residential buildings featuring both mains-fed hot water systems as well as combi-boiler systems due to the fact that they’re both renowned for the ease through which the flow of water can be affected by the actions of other individuals. In some events, this can mean the action of individuals in separate properties. As a result, gravity-fed water systems are usually more reliable, but even at that, thermostatic shower valves are mostly seen as an additional safety feature that’s quite useful should it be required. So how exactly does the thermostatic shower work?

 

A thermostatic shower makes use of a thermostatic valve to mix both the cold and hot feeds in the right proportion prior to channeling the water via the showerhead. As a result of the link that exists between water pressure and water temperature, this is able to maintain a steady flow. What’s more? Contemporary thermostatic showers can also shut down by itself if it observes that the supply of cold water has reduced to a level that’s considered to be unsafe which ultimately prevents scalding. What thermostatic showers simply does is to store hot water from the mains and then mix it with the right quantity of cold water in order to generate the desired temperature. They’re unlike electric showers which collect cold water from the mains and heat it up to the set temperature.
