Shower installation in the Scottish Borders is matched to the available hot-water system, incoming pressure and drainage rather than chosen from appearance alone. We resolve low flow, unstable temperature, failed trays and awkward waste routes, then specify electric, mixer or pumped options that suit the property. Wall preparation and enclosure sealing are included in the practical plan.

Step 1
Hot-water type, pressure, electrics and drainage are confirmed.
Step 2
Shower, tray, enclosure and controls are matched to the room.
Step 3
Supports, pipework, waste and waterproof junctions are completed.
Step 4
Temperature stability, drainage and enclosure seals are tested.
Local context matters — housing stock, fuel mix and access vary street by street across the Borders. Below are neighbourhoods we cover often:
Plumbing and heating for Maxwellheugh's mix of Victorian villas and 1960s detached homes — long pipe runs, hard water, and listed-neighbour planning sensitivity all factor in.
Combi swaps, gas upsizing, and landlord gas safety work on Kelso's 1970s–80s Broomlands estate, with care on flue positions and garage-conversion relocations.
Zoned-heating diagnostics, unvented cylinder service work, and heat-pump retrofits on Kelso's late-90s Pinnaclehill estate.
Off-grid oil, LPG and heat-pump work on the south bank of the Tweed at Springwood Park, with flood-aware plant-room siting and OFTEC tank compliance.
Combi replacements, landlord CP12s and social-landlord servicing across Langlee's mix of council, housing-association and private stock on the hill-top estate.
New-build snagging, smart-thermostat retrofits and cylinder upgrades across original and modern stock in Tweedbank at the end of the Borders Railway.
Tenement-aware boiler swaps, leak tracing and lead-pipe upgrades along Buckholmside's stone-built mill-era closes on the north-west side of Galashiels.
Cylinder upgrades, smart-controls retrofits and heat-pump feasibility surveys on Mossilee's 1990s–2000s detached stock north of Galashiels.
Council, housing-association and right-to-buy combi work on Hawick's Burnfoot estate, with back-boiler removals and flue-siting care on four-in-a-blocks.
Pressure imbalance, a worn cartridge or boiler modulation can all cause it; we test before replacing parts.
Sometimes, but it needs a suitable electrical circuit and cold-main flow as well as a workable cable route.
Yes, after checking whether the leak comes from seals, waste, movement or concealed pipework.
