Concealed Showers

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is a concealed shower?

A concealed shower is a shower system where the pipework, valves, and most components are hidden behind the wall, leaving only the controls and shower head visible. This creates a sleek, minimalist look.

2. What are the benefits of a concealed shower?

• Modern, streamlined design – no exposed pipework.

• Space-saving – ideal for smaller bathrooms or en-suites.

• Customisable – can be paired with fixed overhead heads, handsets, or both.

• Easy to clean – fewer exposed parts means less surface area for limescale and dirt.

3. Are concealed showers harder to install than exposed ones?

Yes. Concealed showers require pipework to be hidden inside the wall, so installation is more complex and usually best done during a renovation. However, once fitted, they’re just as reliable and easier to maintain through the serviceable parts (like the valve cover plate).

4. Do concealed showers work with all water systems?

Most do, but it’s important to check compatibility:

• Gravity-fed systems may need a pump for good pressure.

• Combi boilers and unvented systems usually work well with thermostatic concealed showers.

5. Are concealed showers available in different styles?

Yes. You can choose from modern chrome, black, brushed brass, or matt finishes, and select single outlet (one head) or dual outlet (fixed head + handset) setups to suit your bathroom style and needs.
