What does a new shower cost in Dundee?
In Dundee, a new shower typically costs £450–£3,400 including VAT, based on Scotland prices. Prices in Scotland run at about 4% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Dundee
We work right across Dundee — DD1, DD2, DD3 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Carnoustie and St Andrews.
Dundee is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Dundee, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. We test pressure and flow at Dundee surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Water across much of Dundee and Angus is soft. If that holds for your street in Dundee, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
Decisions to make first
Digital shower
A wall panel sets the exact temperature and flow, while the mixing valve sits out of sight. It needs a power supply and suits a clean, concealed look.
Exposed or concealed
An exposed bar valve fixes onto the tiles and is easy to service. A concealed valve sits in the wall for a cleaner look but needs careful setting-out and a plan for access.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland there is no Part P, but a new shower circuit must still be designed, installed and certified to BS 7671. Water fittings, including pumps and backflow protection, are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.
