Exposed Shower Sets

Exposed shower sets come in many shapes and styles. From modern to traditional and round to square, there's always something to match your bathroom. Exposed shower valves give you total control of the water supply to your shower and are often much cheaper and quicker to install than concealed shower valves.

Gone are the days where you’d have a mix of different looking components making up your shower. Our exposed shower systems use matching components for a completely seamless look. Many of our exposed shower systems also have matching basin and bath fillers, so you can expertly co-ordinate the look of your bathroom.

Here at Tap Warehouse, we have exposed showers from some of the biggest names in the bathroom business including Roper Rhodes and Vado, as well as budget shower sets from Vellamo.

Minimum Water Pressure

Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.

- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar

- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs

- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar

You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.

Taps use either a ceramic disc cartridge or a rubber compression washer to control flow. Rubber washers will naturally wear down with use, and the tap handle will require more and more rotations to turn on or off. On the plus side, it's very easy to replace a rubber washer and they're available everywhere. 

Ceramic disc cartridges need only a 90-degree rotation to fully open or close, and the 2 ceramic plates are incredibly hard-wearing and resilient. They're more expensive to make, but they allow for a huge range of designs, easy operation and simple maintenance if needed.

Whilst it is rare for a ceramic cartridge to need replacing, you may very occasionally need to remove and rinse the cartridge if grit or debris within the water system is preventing the 2 plates from closing properly. Much like replacing a rubber washer, this is a quick and easy job, and will ensure many years of use.
