Installing a new shower transforms your bathroom, combining functionality with luxury and style. Whether you’re creating a spa-like retreat, updating an outdated bathroom, or installing showers in new construction, professional installation ensures lasting performance and beautiful results. Bestcare Facilities Management provides expert shower installation services throughout Nairobi, Kiambu, and Kenya.
Types of Showers We Install
We install all shower types to match your vision and space. Walk-in showers are increasingly popular, offering barrier-free entry, spacious interiors, and contemporary aesthetics. These custom showers can be designed to any size and configuration with tile, stone, or acrylic wall surrounds. Walk-in showers typically include glass enclosures or partial walls, creating open, luxurious bathing spaces.
Prefabricated shower units offer cost-effective, quick installation. These one-piece or multi-piece fiberglass or acrylic units come complete with walls, base, and often shelving. They’re ideal for budget-conscious projects or situations requiring rapid installation. Modern prefab units feature attractive designs that rival custom installations.
Shower-tub combinations maximize functionality in limited space, providing both shower and bathing options. These work well in family bathrooms and secondary bathrooms where space is constrained.
Steam showers create spa experiences at home with generators that produce steam for therapeutic relaxation. These sealed enclosures require specialized installation including steam-proof enclosures, sloped ceilings to prevent dripping, proper ventilation, and dedicated electrical circuits.
Outdoor showers are popular additions to pool areas and beach properties. We install outdoor showers with appropriate materials that withstand weather exposure and ensure proper drainage.
Barrier-free accessible showers accommodate wheelchair users and people with mobility challenges. These include roll-in entries, built-in benches, grab bars, handheld showerheads, and slip-resistant flooring. We ensure all accessibility installations comply with relevant standards.
Our Shower Installation Process
Our installation service begins with detailed consultation. We assess your space, discuss your preferences and budget, and recommend appropriate shower types. We take precise measurements and evaluate structural considerations including plumbing access, drainage capacity, ventilation requirements, and waterproofing needs.
For replacement installations, we remove existing showers or tub-shower combinations. This involves shutting off water supply, disconnecting all plumbing, removing doors, walls, and base, and carefully disposing of old materials. We inspect the underlying structure for any water damage requiring repair.
We prepare the installation area by repairing or replacing damaged subflooring, ensuring proper slope for drainage (2% grade toward drain), installing cement board or waterproof membrane on walls, and roughing in plumbing for valves, showerheads, and any additional features.
For custom tile showers, we build and waterproof the shower pan using modern liner systems or traditional mud pan construction, install and waterproof cement board walls, tile all surfaces with precise cutting and layout, install drain assemblies, and apply grout and sealant.
For prefabricated units, we level and secure the base, install wall surrounds according to manufacturer specifications, seal all joints properly, and connect plumbing components.
We install all shower fixtures including pressure-balance or thermostatic mixing valves, showerheads (fixed, rain, or multi-function), handheld showers, body sprays, and controls and trim. For steam showers, we install and connect steam generators, control panels, and steam-proof doors.
Glass enclosure installation includes measuring and ordering custom glass, installing frames or clips, mounting doors with proper alignment, and ensuring watertight seals.
After installation, we conduct comprehensive testing, checking all connections for leaks, verifying proper water pressure and temperature, confirming adequate drainage, and testing all features and controls.
We complete the installation by caulking all joints and seams, cleaning all surfaces thoroughly, removing debris and old materials, and providing operation and care instructions.
Modern Shower Features
Contemporary showers offer numerous luxury features. Rain showerheads provide gentle, rainfall-like spray. Body jets deliver therapeutic massage. Handheld showers offer flexibility and are essential for accessibility. Digital controls allow precise temperature and flow management. LED lighting creates ambiance and improves visibility. Built-in benches provide comfort and safety. Niche shelving eliminates need for hanging caddies.
We can design showers incorporating any combination of features to create your ideal bathing experience.
Waterproofing Excellence
Proper waterproofing is critical for shower longevity and preventing water damage. We use multiple waterproofing layers including membrane liners under shower pans, waterproof backing boards on walls, liquid-applied membranes at all joints and penetrations, and proper sealing of all fixtures and drains.
Our waterproofing techniques prevent costly water damage and ensure your shower performs flawlessly for decades.
Commercial Shower Installation
We provide commercial shower installation for gyms, hotels, hospitals, dormitories, and industrial facilities. Commercial installations often require multiple shower units, ADA-compliant accessibility features, durable commercial-grade materials, and anti-microbial finishes. We coordinate installations efficiently to meet project timelines.
