Rainfall Shower Installation in Trentham
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A rainfall shower feels different — but only if it's fed with enough flow. In a lot of Trentham homes the incoming mains sits at 8-12 l/min, which is fine for a standard head but leaves a 300mm overhead feeling like drizzle.
We flow-test the mains at the survey, spec the head against what's actually available, and add a shower pump on gravity-fed installs where the flow won't do the fixture justice.
We've fitted bathroom fitting in Trentham long enough to know the houses inside out.
Rainfall Shower Installation FAQs — Trentham
- Will a rainfall head work on my Trentham home's water pressure?
- We test flow at survey. Combi installs in Trentham generally hit 10-14 l/min which suits a 250-300mm head; gravity systems below that get a pump paired with the install.
- Do you fit ceiling-drop arms?
- Yes — ceiling-drop looks cleaner but the ceiling void has to take a copper feed, a service loop and 20mm of insulation. We check that at survey on every Trentham job.
- Can I have a rainfall head and a handset?
- Yes — diverter valve, two outlets, either fed from a thermostatic mixer or a dual-outlet exposed bar. Standard on our Trentham showers.
- What size head is worth fitting?
- 300mm for combi installs; 400mm only where flow measures above 14 l/min. Anything bigger under-fed is a false economy.
- We have a 1930s semi with a small upstairs bathroom — can you reconfigure it?
- Most Trentham 1930s semis have a separate WC we can knock through into the bathroom, giving a much better layout for a walk-in shower without losing a bedroom.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Trentham we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
