Shower Installation in Reading

Types of Shower We Install

Electric showers heat cold water on demand, meaning you never run out of hot water. They require a dedicated electrical circuit, which our in-house certified electricians install safely and legally.

Mixer showers blend your home's existing hot and cold water. We install thermostatic mixer showers that balance pressure and temperature, ensuring a safe, consistent shower experience.

Power showers mix hot and cold water but include an integrated pump to boost flow rate. They are perfect for homes with low-pressure gravity-fed systems, though they are not suitable for combi boilers.

We install sleek frameless and semi-frameless glass walk-in enclosures. We handle the low-profile shower trays (or tray-free setups), full waterproofing, and pristine tiling for a modern, open feel.

We fit exposed and concealed shower valves. We highly recommend concealed thermostatic valves for a minimalist look, where only the controls are visible on the tiled wall.

We install luxurious ceiling-mounted or high-wall-mounted rainfall shower heads, often combined with a secondary adjustable hand shower for maximum practicality and a spa-like experience.

For the ultimate open showering experience, we install fully waterproofed wet rooms with no step or enclosure tray at all. See our dedicated Wet Room page for more details.

What's Involved in a Shower Installation?

A proper shower installation involves multiple trades. We route the hot, cold, and waste plumbing. If it's an electric shower, we run the dedicated electrical circuit. We then apply tanking and backer boards for total waterproofing. Next, our tilers finish the walls, followed by the installation of the shower tray, glass enclosure, and the shower valve and head. Finally, we test the system. Because all these trades are in-house at Goodman & Son, the process is fast, seamless, and guaranteed.
