Tap & Shower Installations
Whether you’re replacing a worn-out tap, upgrading to a modern mixer, fitting a new shower enclosure, or installing a thermostatic shower system, AG Heating handles the full job from survey to sign-off. We supply and fit taps, shower heads, mixer showers, electric showers, and power showers to suit your bathroom, kitchen, or utility room — and we leave everything clean, tested, and working properly.
A tap or shower installation includes:
- Assessment of your existing pipework and water pressure
- Supply and fitting of tap or shower unit matched to your requirements
- Connection to hot and cold supplies, including isolation valves where needed
- Sealing, siliconing, and finishing to a high standard
- Pressure and flow testing on completion
- Old unit removed and disposed of responsibly
- Full handover and operating guidance
Most tap and shower installations are completed within a single visit. Our engineer will confirm the expected duration when you book.
Do You Need a New Tap or Shower?
A tap or shower replacement is worth considering when one or more of the following apply:
✅ Your tap is dripping constantly and won’t stop even when fully closed
✅ Shower pressure has dropped significantly or fluctuates between hot and cold
✅ Tap or shower head is leaking from the base, spout, or cartridge
✅ Mixer valve is failing — water won’t reach temperature or control is stiff
✅ Visible limescale build-up, corrosion, or damage to the tap body or shower unit
✅ You’re renovating a bathroom or kitchen and want new fixtures fitted properly
Not every fault needs a full replacement. If a washer, cartridge, or O-ring is all that’s needed, we’ll tell you honestly and carry out the repair at a fair price — no unnecessary upselling.

Taps & Showers — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a tap or shower installation take?
Most tap replacements take one to two hours. A full shower installation, including enclosure and thermostatic unit, typically takes four to eight hours depending on the complexity of the pipework. We’ll confirm the expected duration when you book.
Can you fix a dripping tap?
Yes — a dripping tap is one of the most common plumbing repairs we carry out. It’s usually caused by a worn washer, cartridge, or O-ring. We’ll identify the cause and repair or replace the faulty component quickly, leaving your tap completely watertight.
Why has my shower lost pressure?
Shower pressure can drop for several reasons: a blocked shower head, a faulty shower pump, low mains pressure, or a failing thermostatic cartridge. We’ll diagnose the cause and advise you on the best fix — whether that’s a simple descale, a new shower head, or a pump or unit replacement.
My shower runs cold — what’s causing it?
A shower that won’t reach temperature is often caused by a failing thermostatic mixer cartridge, an issue with the hot water supply, or an undersized electric shower unit. We’ll diagnose the fault and carry out the repair or replacement needed to restore reliable hot water.
Can you install an electric shower?
Yes — we install all types of electric shower unit. Electric showers heat water on demand from the cold mains supply and don’t rely on your boiler, making them a practical choice for many homes. We’ll advise on the right kilowatt rating for your needs and install it safely and correctly.
What types of shower can you install?
We install all shower types: electric showers, mixer showers (manual and thermostatic), power showers, digital showers, and concealed valve systems. We’ll help you choose the right type for your water pressure, boiler setup, and bathroom layout.
Do you cover emergency tap or shower repairs?
Yes — AG Heating provides 24/7 emergency callouts for tap and shower problems including leaks, burst pipework, and showers that have stopped working entirely. If you have water where it shouldn’t be, call us immediately and we’ll get to you as quickly as possible, day or night.
