Triton Electric Shower Installation in Birmingham
When people think about plumbing jobs, they usually picture burst pipes or blocked drains. But some of the most important work we do is helping families keep everyday life running smoothly, like this recent electric shower installation we carried out in Birmingham.
The customer’s old shower had been in place for years. It was a bit temperamental, slow to heat up, and not much use on a cold Monday morning. Eventually, it gave up altogether, and with a full household and busy mornings, waiting for the boiler to heat water just wasn’t going to cut it.
That’s where we came in.
The situation
The customer wanted a straightforward replacement, but also wanted peace of mind that the work would be safe, tidy, and compliant. Their previous shower had been installed long ago, and they weren’t sure if the electrics were still up to current regs.
When we arrived, we took the time to inspect the full setup, not just the water connections, but the electrical side too. It’s all too easy to rush jobs like this, but we never cut corners.
The isolator switch was out of date and the earthing didn’t meet today’s safety standards, so before anything else, we upgraded the switch, checked the cable rating, and ensured everything was safely connected before we even thought about fitting the new unit.
The installation
We installed a brand new Triton T80 electric shower, one of the UK’s most popular and reliable models for busy family homes. It offers a clean, modern design with simple temperature and flow controls, perfect for households where people just want something that works without fuss.
We kept the pipework layout neat, replaced the riser rail and shower head, and made sure the tiling was protected and sealed properly. It’s the kind of small job that often gets overlooked, but when you do it right, it makes a huge difference.
The final result? A smart, reliable, mains-fed electric shower, ready to deliver hot water on demand, no waiting for a cylinder or combi boiler to catch up.
Why this job matters
To a lot of people, replacing a shower sounds like a small job, and technically, it is. But the impact it has on a home is big. The difference between a cold trickle and a warm, consistent shower first thing in the morning is something you feel every day.
For families, elderly homeowners, or anyone with limited hot water access, a properly installed electric shower can be a game-changer. It’s fast, cost-effective, and simple to use, as long as it’s installed correctly.
That’s why we always take the time to check the full system, test the electrics, and tidy everything up. Whether it’s a full bathroom or a single appliance swap, we treat it the same way: with care, respect, and attention to detail.
Another job well done, and another happy customer in Birmingham.
