Electric, mixer or power shower?
It depends on your hot water. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it runs, so it works with no hot water in the tank. A mixer shower takes hot water from the cylinder or a combi boiler. A power shower is a mixer with a pump, for low-pressure hot water from a tank in the attic.
An electric shower needs its own circuit from the fuse board. That work is for a Registered Electrical Contractor, who gives you a completion certificate.
How much to swap a bath for a walk-in shower?
€3,500 to €6,000, and 3 to 5 working days. The bath comes out, a low tray and a glass screen go in, and the wall around it is tanked and tiled. More on walk-in showers in Dublin.
Shower tray or wet room?
A tray is cheaper and quicker; a level floor costs €5,000 to €14,000. A wet room needs the whole floor tanked and laid to a drain, which is harder on a timber floor upstairs. Wet room or shower tray compares the two side by side.
