Shower repairs in Edinburgh

How to get an accurate quote in Edinburgh

Short answer: Showers over baths are common in Edinburgh flats, and a failed seal can soak the ceiling below without much showing above. Tell us whether it is electric, a mixer or pumped, and whether the problem is leaking, temperature or flow. That tells a plumber whether an electrician or heating engineer may also be needed.
