Shower toilet installation in Gerrards Cross
We install luxury, fit-only bathrooms for homeowners across Gerrards Cross, the affluent Buckinghamshire commuter village close to Beaconsfield and Chalfont St Peter, around 25 to 30 minutes by road from our Bracknell base. An integrated shower-toilet unit is a different proposition to a conventional WC: it needs its own power supply to the pan alongside its water feed, and getting that sequencing right at first fix is what separates a smooth installation from one that needs reopening later.
Why a shower toilet is more than a plumbing job
A conventional close-coupled toilet needs a soil connection and a cold feed to the cistern, and that's it. A shower-toilet unit — whether it's a fully integrated pan or a seat-based unit retrofitted to an existing WC — adds a heated seat, a wash function, usually a warm-air dryer, and on higher-spec models a deodoriser, all of which run off mains electricity. That means a fused connection unit has to be positioned outside the bathroom's zoned splash areas, with cable routed to reach it safely, and the water side needs its own isolated feed with the correct valve arrangement for the model specified. We plan both at survey stage, because moving a power route after tiling is finished is expensive and avoidable.
Fit-only, and what that means for you in Gerrards Cross
You source the sanitaryware, brassware, tiles and furniture; we strip out, first-fix, tile, plumb and snag, from £3,500. For a shower-toilet installation specifically, that first-fix stage is where the electrical and water supply routes get set, well before any tile goes up. We work this out at the paid £125 survey against the exact unit model you've chosen, so the quote reflects what your specific installation actually needs rather than a generic estimate.
Practical considerations for Gerrards Cross homes
Gerrards Cross properties vary from older detached houses to newer executive-style builds, and the deciding factor for a shower-toilet installation is rarely the age of the house but the existing electrical and water infrastructure already in the bathroom. Where there's an existing shaver socket or nearby ring circuit, extending a supply to a new fused connection unit is usually a contained job. Where there isn't, we'll discuss the route with you at survey so there are no surprises once strip-out starts. Because the village sits around 25 to 30 minutes from our Bracknell base, scheduling survey and install visits together is straightforward.
What happens on site
After survey, we strip out the existing suite, first-fix the plumbing and the dedicated power supply to the pan, tile, then fit and connect the shower-toilet unit itself, testing both the wash function and the electrics before snagging and handover.

Frequently asked questions
Around 25 to 30 minutes by road from our Bracknell base, which we factor into scheduling survey and installation visits.
Usually not beyond extending a supply from an existing circuit to a new, correctly zoned fused connection unit near the pan. We confirm the exact route at survey rather than assuming.
No — we're fit-only. You purchase the shower-toilet unit, brassware, tiles and furniture, and we handle the strip-out, first-fix, tiling, plumbing, electrical coordination and snagging.
We confirm the specific unit's power and water requirements, check the existing supplies in your bathroom, and agree the routes for cable and pipework before any quote is finalised.
