What does a new shower cost in Crawley?
For Crawley, our guide range for a new shower is £500 to £3,900 including VAT. Prices in South East England run at about 12% 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 Crawley
We work right across Crawley — RH10 and RH11 — and in neighbouring Horley and Horsham.
Across a large town like Crawley, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If the shower in your Crawley home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. We test pressure and flow at Crawley surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Crawley 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
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Head and handset
A handset on a riser rail is versatile and easy for rinsing; a fixed overhead head feels generous but needs strong flow behind it.
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.
