SHOWERS FAIL IN PREDICTABLE WAYS — AND MOST GET Repaired BADLY

An electric shower that cuts out mid-shower, a mixer with weak flow, a tray leaking through to the ceiling below — some of the most common plumbing call-outs in Redhill. They’re also the jobs most often bodged: wrong sealant, mismatched cartridges, generic parts forced into branded units.

DCD approaches showers differently. Repairs start with proper diagnosis — testing flow rates, checking electrical supply, inspecting pipework upstream. New installations are sealed properly, pressure-tested, and water-tested before we hand them over.

SHOWER ISSUES WE SEE EVERY WEEK

Most repaired on the first visit with parts already on the van

ELECTRIC NOT HEATING

Usually the heating element, thermal cut-out, or a partially blocked inlet filter — often a small part, not a full unit replacement.

WEAK MIXER FLOW

Limescale build-up, cartridge failure, low mains pressure, or restricted shower head. We test all four before recommending anything.

LEAKING INTO CEILING

Tray seal, waste joint, supply pipework, or grouting — four possible sources. We diagnose which before quoting.

NO HOT WATER

Diverter valve, thermostatic cartridge, or hot supply problem. Diagnosis takes minutes; repair usually takes one visit.

DRIPPING WHEN OFF

Worn cartridge or perished seal — quick and inexpensive repair if caught early.

HOT/COLD NOT BALANCING

Failed thermostatic mixing valve. Replacement is straightforward with the right part on the van.

DCD'S SHOWER SERVICE — FROM REPAIR TO FULL INSTALL

FOR REPAIRS

The engineer diagnoses the actual fault before quoting — so you're not paying for a brand-new cartridge when the real problem is a £4 filter. We carry common spares for all major brands.

FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS

Full job from start to finish — removing the old unit, upgrading pipework where needed, fitting and sealing the new shower, pressure-testing before handover.

WHAT Redhill SAYS AFTER WE'VE FITTED OR Repaired A SHOWER

Thomas B. — Redhill

Our electric shower had been temperamental for months. Two other plumbers told us it needed replacing — £400-£600 quotes. DCD came out, properly tested everything, found a partially blocked inlet filter. A £4 part. Cleaned the filter, shower works perfectly.

Emma F. — Redhill

Booked DCD to install a new digital shower in our main bathroom. Spotless work, full handover at the end so we knew how to use it, and the price quoted matched the final invoice to the penny.

Daniel K. — Redhill

Shower leak through the kitchen ceiling. DCD found it was the waste joint, not the tray as the previous plumber had claimed. Targeted repaired, minimal access work, sorted in one visit.

Priya L. — Redhill

Power shower stopped working — turned out to be the pump, not the shower itself. DCD had a replacement pump on the van and the whole thing was back to full strength within an hour. Quote was very fair.

WHY Redhill CHOOSES DCD FOR SHOWERS

SHOWER FAQS

CAN YOU Repaired MY ELECTRIC SHOWER TODAY?

For most Redhill addresses, yes — same-day shower repair slots are available, and we carry spares for all major electric shower brands on the van (Mira, Triton, Aqualisa, Galaxy, Bristan, Gainsborough). If a specific obscure part is needed we’ll order it and complete on a follow-up visit.

MY SHOWER IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD. REPAIR OR REPLACE?

If parts are still available and the unit is structurally sound, repair often makes sense and costs a fraction of replacement. If the casing is corroded, the heating element keeps failing, or the model is obsolete with no parts available, replacement is the better long-term choice. We’ll give you an honest opinion before you commit either way — no hidden agenda to push a replacement sale.

DO I NEED AN ELECTRICIAN TO FIT A NEW ELECTRIC SHOWER?

Only if the existing electrical supply needs upgrading. Most like-for-like replacements use the existing wiring and we complete the full job in one visit (our engineers are qualified for the isolation work). If new wiring or a higher-rated supply is needed, we’ll bring a qualified electrician with us so it’s still one visit, one job, one fixed price.

CAN YOU FIT A POWER SHOWER IF I HAVE LOW WATER PRESSURE?

Yes — that’s exactly what a pumped shower is designed for. We can fit a positive-head or negative-head pump depending on your system configuration, dramatically improving flow rate. We’ll survey the system first to make sure the pump we recommend is the right specification for your hot water supply.

WILL YOU REMOVE AND DISPOSE OF THE OLD SHOWER?

Yes — old unit removal and responsible disposal is included in every installation price. We don’t leave anything for you to deal with. Electric showers are recycled through a WEEE-compliant disposal route.

MY SHOWER LEAKS INTO THE CEILING BELOW. CAN YOU FIND THE CAUSE?

Yes. Shower-related ceiling leaks usually come from one of four sources: the tray seal, the waste joint, the supply pipework, or failed grouting. We diagnose which it is before quoting the repair — and if the actual cause turns out to be elsewhere (it sometimes does), we’ll find that too using leak detection equipment if needed.

DO YOU HANDLE WET ROOM INSTALLATIONS?

Yes — wet rooms are one of our specialities. We handle the full job including floor preparation, waterproof tanking, drain placement, shower fitting and tiling coordination. We can either project-manage the whole install or work alongside a tiler you’ve already chosen.
