We design and engineer every Bristan product ourselves, here at our British HQ. They’re made with British homes and businesses in mind, and the care we pour into every detail means they perform flawlessly, every time. | We run our taps and showers through over 20,000 rigourous test cycles in our own on-site lab. It’s how we know they’ll last – and it’s why 9 out of 10 plumbers recommend us. | For peace of mind on every project, we give you solid assurees, extended warranties and great support from a 70-strong team of friendly experts and engineers. | We’re on a mission to make life easy. So, if anything’s not quite right, we’ll sort it out. No fuss, no arguments. It’s another reason why we’re the finishing touch in 1 in 4 British homes. |
Only cold water or very hot water, I’m not sure if it’s the water pressure caused. That means no temperature adjustment.
Easy to install, I remember back about 10yrs ago when I installed the shower we had, brass elbows white sealing tape, no end of fiddling about , but this is definitely a good shower it was a replacement for a 7.5wt , being we had our wiring updated we decided to go for the 9.5wt a little bit more constant and more reliable for the pressure.

Its a shower, fit it, plumb it in and connect the electricity and viola! Water comes out, and, this is the best part, you can adjust the temperature
Easy to install, easy to use, nice shower at a reasonable price
We had to get this as my shower turned itself off as I was washing my hair. But I decided to get this. I’m glad I did. This is so fantastic. The shower head is wide it covers your head brilliantly. You just don’t want to get out.
Not as easy to install as it says .had to get a plumber out to fix smaller pipe

Easy to install , looking good,
Was brand loyal to Triton due to existing fitting, however had to buy 3 triton over 6 years and had enough.
This looking good so far and the fitting was ok without any real hassle

Bought after our previous shower broke, great value for money and really easy for to install. Works well and does what it says.
An upgrade to a similar Bristan shower so fitting was really easy. However for the average DIY’er remember the electricity supply is usually 32-40 amp. This kind of supply can give a nasty shock if not fitted with care.
As for the shower – The box was damaged as described but the contents were absolutely fine. I would look at the ‘referbished’ type descriptions again to make a saving.

This item is effective simplicity personified. Easy to install however check the entry points if you’re installing a replacement. It heats quickly and provides an abundance of warm water. I would purchase again.

I have been having trouble with my shower tripping out the breaker on my main domestic board. After carefully doing the maths, I discovered that my 9.5kw shower was drawing a few amps too much and to uprate the cabling and board would have cost a few hundred pounds so the cheapest option was to down rate my shower slightly. I researched the various Bristan versions and noticed that the vast majority have exactly the same size backing unit and hole positions so decided to buy this shower in the slightly lower 8.5kw version than my previous 9.5kw one. Being the same brand as the outgoing shower it fitted perfectly matching the plumbing and previously drilled holes so no major fitting to do. It slotted straight in and was up and running in just 15 minutes. Perfect. I now no longer have tripping issues and the shower performs well and should be enough for most households. Great buy.
Replaced an old more expensive from Britan. Actually seems to heat the water better/more
Would recommend
Great shower, great price, easy installation, left or right feed
Bought one before fits exactly into existing shower unit. Great price as well thanks
Great shower for price. Fit in 30 minutes could do better with different shower head
Bought this for a shower in my man cave! Does the jod perfectly.
Easy to fix-uncomplicated. Using it half an hour after fixing. This is how showers etc should be-simple & effective.
For being a value shower, it works really well. Easy to install. Initial fault which was sorted within days of reporting. Fantastic customer service from Bristan. polite and very efficient. This included the plumber who came to sort the issue. professional service all round.

Good little shower, easy to install. Can sometimes struggle on very cold days.
It was great and quick to install, no problem , and only need a couple tools
Thank you
Absolute bargain, got a new shower for less than 50 works a treat a simple swap over from my older shower.
A super shower. Not the most powerful but it is enough for us. It wasn’t very warm but when we checked the instructions there was a very easy way to increase the temperature.

Love this shower. Installed and replaced my old shower in 15 minutes
very good price for quality item. i was replacing old Creda shower with this one and was encouraged by comments of easy to install however it was not that easy but prehaps it was because it was so different.Dont let this put you off though as its a reall good showe

Had this shower a few months now. Had it installed, so don’t know how tricky that process was, but this shower has surpassed expectations. It’s very quiet, heats up quickly, provides a glorious, even, refreshing shower. Chose this over the usual suspects because of its sleek, yet simple design and it hasn’t disappointed at all. We’re not talking power shower strength here, but wasn’t looking for a wasteful power shower, so this is more than enough.
The only quibble is with the eco setting which just seems to deliver tepid water, so not sure what that’s all about – maybe for people who prefer cooler/cold showers. Highly recommended though!
Brought this in a sale so great value for the money, easy to install and powerful enough.
Excellent shower but very awkward to install unless you already had the exact same fitting beforehand
The shower has been installed for some time now and has proved to be very effective and reliable. Good product, good supplier.
Nice shower but not happy with the shower head flow
Cheap and cheerful, easy to install, looks a bit cheap but does the job! Works fine.
my husband hates diy but this item caused no distress
Last installed a shower about 25 years ago and remembered it to be a complete pain. Wow, how things have changed. One push on water connector, with a multitude of entry points possible and an electrical connection, which was just like wiring a plug. Had it all done in about 20 mins, of course this was swapping over from a broken shower, so the pipework etc was already there. I’m not a plumber, more a DIY bodger, but managed it easy.
Looks good in the bathroom and does what a shower should. Uncomplicated, cheap, and so far (3 months) still working perfectly.

Great value for a 9.5Kw shower. It features multiple options for water pipe entry and a large recess for the electric cable, hence positioning as a replacement unit is made easy. Additionally, the water connection is push fit so fuss free for a DIY’er.
Two very minor quibbles:-
1. Two of the holes for the wall fixing screws are within areas surrounded by mouldings and it’s not possible for anyone with normal size hands to present the screws up to the wall plugs. The screws provided aren’t a ferrous metal so the magnetised screwdriver trick didn’t work.
2. The support rail for the shower head only has a wall fixing aperture at one end. As I bought the shower as a replacement I left the old fitting in place.
Great value though.

great product – worked in a hotel that got a few of these to replace the old ones. dont expect brilliant pressure as u gotta look at the power of the showe
For the price this is superb great replacement for my broken eight.five no pipe work alteration or electrics really happy
Had the Shower for a few weeks now, it is easy to use and works very well. Good value for money and I have no hesitation in recommending i
Very efficient service. Easy to install as replacement electric shower for a different make. My daughter uses this shower every day and so far no complaints.
