The HowTo.TV team are here to show you everything you ever wanted to know about how to build a shower, choosing a new shower and giving your bathroom a smart new look.

The actual plumbing and electrical work involved is a job that requires a degree of expertise, and one that you'll want professional help with.

In this episode Gavin will be showing you how to choose the right shower. There are three types of shower; Mixer and Power Showers run off the existing Hot & Cold water supplies in the house, whilst Electric Showers only require a cold water supply. Mixer and Power Showers can give the ultimate showering experience, but Electric Showers offer the opportunity to use just the cold supply and are ideal if you don't have a large amount of stored hot water in a tank.
