What does a new shower cost in Leeds?

Working in Leeds
We work right across Leeds — LS1, LS2, LS3 and 16 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Batley and Dewsbury.
Leeds 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 the shower in your Leeds home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Leeds, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Leeds, 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
- 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
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
Decisions to make first
Thermostatic mixer
Blends hot and cold from your system and holds the temperature steady when someone runs a tap. The usual choice with a combi or an unvented cylinder.
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 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.
