New Showers

Fitted Around the Water Supply You Have

A new shower should give steady heat and decent flow every morning. That depends as much on the water supply behind the wall as on the shower you pick. Getting it right first time saves paying twice.

Showers sit with the rest of our plumbing across Littleborough, Rochdale and Greater Manchester. Jaque fits new showers, swaps tired valves and replaces worn shower taps, and he does every job himself.

Before recommending anything, he looks at the boiler or cylinder and the pipework, and checks the pressure at the taps. You then get a free quote for a shower that will work well in your home.

Plenty of older homes still have a cold water tank in the loft feeding a vented cylinder. Others run a combi boiler at mains pressure. Each one suits a different kind of shower.

Smaller jobs are welcome too. Replacing a pair of worn shower taps or a leaking hose is often all an older shower needs.

Fix or Replace?

Shower Problems and the Honest Answer

Not every tired shower needs replacing. These are the common problems, what usually causes them and what Jaque would suggest for each one.

ProblemWhat you noticeWhat we suggest

Runs Hot and Cold

The temperature jumps when someone runs a tap or flushes the toilet.

A thermostatic valve, which holds the temperature steady when the pressure changes elsewhere in the house.

Weak Flow

A shower that dribbles, even with the valve turned fully on and nothing else running.

The pressure and pipework checked first, then the right fix or a shower type that suits the supply.

Dripping or Stiff Valve

Water keeps dripping after the shower is off, or the handle has gone stiff.

A new cartridge where parts are still made, or a replacement valve if they are not.

Leak Around the Tray

Damp on the ceiling below, or dark marks creeping along the tray edge.

The waste, seals and pipe joints checked, then the leak fixed where it starts rather than sealed over.

Hose on the Bath Taps

A push-on hose, or an old bath shower mixer that never holds its heat.

A proper shower over the bath with a fixed riser rail, or new bath shower taps.

Whole Shower Worn Out

An old valve, a cracked head and a hose that leaks at both ends, all at the same time.

A new shower, planned around the water supply, with the pipework checked while the wall is open.

Aaron Loi

I would highly recommend, the engineer, Jague was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem with my mum’s boiler to a high standard, and made sure everything was working properly before he left.
What really stood out was how helpful and reassuring he was. He didn’t just do the job and leave – he took the time to make sure my mum was okay and that everything was sorted. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, trustworthy, and caring. Excellent service from start to finish. Thank you!

Laura Thompson

Jaque arrived punctually, he replaced the shower taps quickly and was thorough and very clean and tidied up after himself. Jaque was overall a good energy to hv in the flat which is so important when you have randoms in your house. Punctual, thorough, quoted a good price and was humbly grateful for the tip I gave. Would recommend over and over.

Called JN Solutions on Sunday night as had a leak on my kitchen sink. Water was spraying everywhere.
They helped me out over the phone to shut the water off and then sent an engineer around who sorted the problem that night.
Can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Thanks again

The Options

Which Shower Suits the Home?

The right shower depends on how the hot water is made and how strong the cold supply is. Here are the main choices and where each one fits.

Thermostatic Mixer
Blends hot and cold water and holds the temperature steady, even when a tap runs elsewhere. A safe choice for homes with children or older relatives, and easy to use once it is set.
Manual Mixer
Mixes hot and cold with one control. Simpler and cheaper, but the temperature can shift when other taps are used, so it suits homes where only one tap runs at a time.
Showers on a Combi
A combi heats water as you use it, at mains pressure. A mixer shower works well with it, and the hot water does not run out.
Pumped Showers
Homes with a loft tank and a vented cylinder often have low pressure. A shower pump can lift the flow where the system suits one.
Electric Showers
Heat cold water inside the unit, so they work without stored hot water. They need their own electrical supply from the fuse board, so fitting one is partly electrical work.
Shower Over the Bath
A riser rail or fixed head above the bath. A good fit where there is no room for a separate shower enclosure.

Water Pressure

Why the Supply Comes First

Many shower problems come back to the water supply. A powerful mixer on a low-pressure system will disappoint, and some valves need balanced hot and cold pressures to work well.

A combi boiler or an unvented cylinder gives hot water at mains pressure, which suits most mixer showers. A vented cylinder fed from a loft tank gives lower pressure, so a pump or a different valve may be the better choice.

Jaque checks this before he quotes, and he tells you plainly if the shower you like will not suit the system. It saves money and disappointment later.

Where the valve sits matters too. A surface-mounted valve sits on the tiles with its pipes coming through the wall, so it is quicker to fit and easy to reach later.

A built-in valve hides the pipework and the body of the valve inside the wall, which looks neater. It suits a bathroom that is being refitted, or a wall that can be opened up.

When a valve is built into the wall, the pipework behind it is tested before the wall is closed up. Any problem is found while it is still easy to reach.

Common Questions

Shower Fitting, Answered

Quick answers before you book. Anything else, just ask Jaque.

How much does shower installation cost in Littleborough?

It depends on the type of shower, the pipework needed and whether the valve goes into the wall. Jaque gives a free quote for shower installation in Littleborough before any work starts.

How long does it take to fit a new shower?

It depends on the job. Swapping a valve like for like is quicker than building a new one into the wall with fresh pipework. Jaque gives you an idea of timing when he quotes.

Will a new shower work with a combi boiler?

Usually, yes. A mixer shower works well with a combi because the hot water comes at mains pressure. The flow depends on the boiler and the cold supply, which Jaque checks first.

What is a thermostatic shower?

A thermostatic valve holds the water at the temperature you set, even if someone flushes a toilet or runs a tap. It cuts the risk of a sudden burst of hot water, which matters in homes with children.

Can you replace just the shower valve?

Yes. If the rest of the shower is sound, Jaque can replace a worn valve, cartridge or set of shower taps on its own.

Is there a workmanship guarantee on shower installation?

Yes. Shower installation in Littleborough from JN Heating Solutions comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If anything Jaque fitted needs putting right in that time, he comes back.
