What does a new shower cost in Bentley?
In Bentley, a new shower typically costs £400–£3,300 including VAT, based on Yorkshire and the Humber prices. Prices in Yorkshire and the Humber run at about 7% 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 Bentley
In Bentley we cover DN1, DN2 and DN5; we also cover Doncaster, 1.1 miles away, and Adwick le Street.
Homes in and around Bentley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Bentley homes with a cold tank in the loft, we check the system before fitting anything, because a pump is only allowed on a gravity supply. If you want a shower in your Bentley home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
Supplies across most of South Yorkshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Bentley. 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
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- 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
Decisions to make first
Power shower
A mixer with a built-in pump, for tank-fed systems only. It lifts a weak gravity shower but must never be connected to the mains.
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.
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.
