FAQs
What is included in a shower trim replacement service?
Our shower trim replacement covers removal of the old escutcheon plate, handle, and showerhead arm; inspection of the underlying valve for leaks or corrosion; installation of the new trim kit (handle, faceplate, shower arm, and flange); application of waterproof silicone where required; and final pressure testing to ensure proper operation.
Can I change my shower trim without replacing the existing valve?
Yes—most modern trim kits are designed to fit standard valves. As long as your valve body is in good condition and the trim kit is compatible with its brand and model, we can swap the external parts only. If the valve is outdated or leaking, we’ll advise on a complete valve upgrade to avoid future issues.
How long does a typical shower trim or fixture replacement take?
A straightforward trim swap takes 1–2 hours. If additional plumbing work is needed—such as valve replacement, pipe repairs, or tile adjustments—expect 3–4 hours. We schedule convenient two-hour arrival windows for all Manchester homes and can often complete multiple fixture replacements in a single visit.
Do I need to supply the new fixtures, or can you provide them?
You’re welcome to supply your own trim kit or fixtures, but many clients prefer that we source them. We have trade accounts with leading brands (Grohe, Kohler, Moen, Bristan) and can deliver factory-sealed products at competitive prices. All supplied items are covered by our workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s warranty.
Will replacing my shower trim void the manufacturer’s warranty on my valve?
No—using a genuine compatible trim set from the same manufacturer keeps your valve’s warranty intact. If you choose a third-party trim, we’ll verify compatibility to ensure no warranty conflicts. Records of the installation and model numbers are provided on your invoice for future reference.
Are your plumbers familiar with Manchester water regulations and building codes?
Absolutely. Our engineers are Gas Safe registered and fully versed in United Utilities by-laws and Manchester City Council building standards. We fit WRAS-approved components, follow BS EN 806 guidelines for potable water, and issue a work completion certificate upon request for insurance or letting agents.
