FAQs:

What is a shower bath?

A shower bath combines a shower and a bath in one compact unit, saving valuable floor space in your bathroom.

How does a shower bath work?

A shower bath combines the features of a traditional bathtub and a shower, allowing you to enjoy both options in one unit. Typically, it has a showerhead mounted above, with a sloped end to the tub for comfortable lounging during baths. We recommend using a bath shower screen or curtain to keep water contained while showering.

Do shower baths fit in small bathrooms?

Yes, shower baths are an excellent solution for small bathrooms. Their compact design allows you to save space while still enjoying the benefits of both a shower and a bath.

How to install a shower over a bath

1. Position the shower in the right place, making sure you’re considering the position of the existing pipework, taps and waste 

2. Install the shower valve or electric shower. For a conventional mixer shower, the valve is connected to the appropriate hot and cold water supplies, whereas an electric shower has different requirements and needs an electrical circuit. If you’re working with an electric shower, make sure this installation is carried out by a qualified electrician.

3. Fit the shower riser and shower head, making sure it’s secured to the wall.

4. Fit a shower screen to protect floors and wall.

5. Seal and check everything, carefully checking all connections for leaks

Can any bath be a shower bath?

No, not all baths are designed to function as a shower bath. While many baths can accommodate a shower, shower baths are specifically designed with a wider showering area to provide more comfort and practicality when using a shower over a bath.
