A bare shower fixing kit with the essential fixings needed to securely mount a shower unit to the wall. Straightforward to install and suited to standard shower fitting work.
A shower fixing kit covers the fittings you actually need when the shower unit turns up without any. It happens more often than it should — the box arrives, you open it up, and there’s the unit sat there looking expectant with nothing to fix it to the wall. This shower fixing kit gives you the bare essentials to get the job done without a trip back to the merchant.
The kit is designed for standard shower unit installations and provides the fixings to wall-mount the unit securely. Whether you’re fitting a new shower in a bathroom refurbishment or replacing an old unit, having the right shower fixing kit to hand saves time on site. No rummaging through the van looking for something close enough that probably isn’t.
What a Shower Fixing Kit Is Actually For
Shower units need to be held firmly in place. That sounds obvious, but a loose or poorly fixed shower is a liability — water movement, vibration over time, and the general reality of daily use all put stress on the mounting points. A proper fixing kit means the unit sits where you put it and stays there.
This kit is the bare version, meaning it contains the fixings without additional accessories or brackets beyond what’s needed for a standard installation. That keeps it simple and cost-effective for jobs where the installation is straightforward and no additional componentry is required.
Suitable Trades and Applications
Plumbers, bathroom fitters, and general builders fitting shower units will find this kit useful as a reliable source of the right fixings. It works across typical bathroom and en-suite installations where a standard wall-mounted shower unit is being fitted. If you’re working through a bathroom refit and fitting multiple units, buying a handful of these kits means you won’t be caught short mid-job.
At this price point it’s sensible to keep a few in the van. Shower fixing kits are exactly the kind of small item that causes a disproportionate delay when they’re not there. The job waits, the customer notices, and the next merchant run eats into your margin. A few spare kits on the van costs very little and saves a lot of aggravation.
Pro Tip: When fixing to tiled walls, always drill through the tile at slow speed before increasing to avoid cracking, and use the correct plug type for the substrate behind the tile rather than assuming the wall behind is solid brick.
This shower fixing kit is used when mounting a shower unit to a wall as part of a new bathroom installation or a like-for-like replacement. It's suited to standard domestic bathroom and en-suite work carried out by plumbers and bathroom fitters. The bare kit suits installations where no additional mounting hardware is required beyond the core fixings.

Not suitable for: Not intended for heavy-duty or commercial shower installations requiring specialist fixings or structural brackets. Not suitable for surface types that require bespoke fixing solutions beyond a standard wall-mount.
Identify the mounting points on the shower unit and mark the wall accordingly. Check what's behind the surface before drilling, as tile, plasterboard, and solid masonry all need different plugs and fixings. Use the appropriate drill bit for the wall type and fit the fixings from the kit as directed for the shower unit being installed.
Make sure the unit is level before final tightening. A shower fitted slightly off-level is one of those things that seems minor until it isn't. Take the extra thirty seconds to check.

Check the substrate behind the surface and select the correct plug type for the wall material
