What does a new shower cost in Wembley?
Our guide price for a new shower in Wembley is £550–£4,400 including VAT. Prices in London run at about 25% above 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 Wembley
We cover every part of Wembley, including HA0, HA9 and UB6, and nearby Brent (0.2 miles) and Harrow (2.3 miles).
In Wembley, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you want a shower in your Wembley home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. If the shower in your Wembley home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Wembley is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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 bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
Decisions to make first
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.
Electric shower
Heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works without stored hot water. Higher kW units give more flow; 8.5 to 10.5 kW models need a dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps.
Rules that apply in England
In England, an electric shower usually needs its own dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P. The Part G limit of 48 °C applies to a new bath in a new dwelling or one created by change of use, not to a shower, but a thermostatic valve gives similar protection. An unvented cylinder fitted to improve the shower must be installed by a G3-qualified installer.
