Common shower problems & what causes them

Understanding what’s causing the problem with your shower can help to get more accurate quotes for repairs.

Some of the most common issues include:

• Leaks around the shower tray, enclosure, or from the base of the shower screen
• Slow drainage or blocked shower drains (hair, soap scum, mineral buildup)
• Inconsistent water temperature, or very hot/cold water fluctuations
• Low water pressure, noisy pipes, or vibrations
• Cracked tiles, damaged grout, or degraded sealant

Who do I call for shower repairs?

Many people wonder whether they need a plumber to fix a shower or an electrician.

While most shower repairs can be completed by a plumber, electric shower repairs should only be done by a qualified electrician or a Part P-certified plumber. This is to ensure electrical safety and compliance.

Average shower repair costs

Shower repair costs will vary depending on several factors, including:

• The type of shower
• The issue
• The parts needed for repair
• Regional labour rates in your area

Whether you need the services of a plumber or an electrician, labour costs tend to start from around £40 per hour.

Tip: Aim to get a selection of quotes before booking your shower repairs. That way, you can compare prices to ensure you receive a fair and competitive rate.

When you contact or pay a trade through Checkatrade, you’re covered by our 12-month guarantee of up to £1,000 (T&Cs Apply).

How long does shower repair take?

Simple repairs like sealing, replacing a showerhead, or fixing a dripping valve often take an hour or so.

More complex jobs (replacing a shower tray, enclosure, tiling, or plumbing behind walls) may take half a day to a full day or more.
