Dog Showers
Dog shower installation in Chelmsford & Essex.
Bespoke indoor and outdoor dog washing stations, fully tiled, properly drained and plumbed for hot water. Muddy walks stop at the back door instead of in your bathroom.
The Work
Overview
A dog shower is a small room with big detailing. Get the fall of the tray, the tanking and the mixer height right and it lasts for decades.
What's Included
Our service expertise.
01
Indoor washing stations
Utility room and boot room installations with a tiled or moulded base, tanked walls and a handheld mixer at a comfortable height.
02
Outdoor dog showers
Wall-mounted hot and cold units for garden and yard use, with isolation and drain-down valves so nothing freezes over winter.
03
Drainage & tanking
Correct falls, trapped gullies and full tanking behind the tile, so splashing and shaking never reaches your plaster or floor.
04
Raised bays & steps
Raised bases and built-in steps so older or larger dogs can walk in and you are not washing on your knees.
05
Tiling & finishes
Porcelain, microcement or splash-back panels finished to the same standard as our bathrooms, with easy-clean corners.
06
Hot water & pressure
We check flow and pressure first, then set up a thermostatic mixer with a safe, stable temperature for washing pets.
Our Process
Precise from survey to handover.
01
Site visit
We look at the space, drainage routes and hot water supply, and talk through how your dog actually behaves at bath time.
02
Design
Layout, base type, tiling and fittings agreed, with options where they make a real difference to cost or usability.
03
Written price
Itemised and fixed, covering plumbing, drainage, tanking, tiling and making good.
04
Installation
First fix, tanking, tiling, then second fix. Clean site, dust sheets down, dog kept out of the way.
05
Handover
Tested, sealed and demonstrated, with our workmanship guarantee in writing.
Common Questions
Things people ask us.
Where can a dog shower be installed?
+
Utility rooms, boot rooms, garages, outbuildings and outdoor walls all work. We look at drainage, hot water access and how you actually use the space before recommending a position.
How much does a dog shower cost in Essex?
+
A simple tiled tray with a handheld mixer typically starts around the cost of a small shower room, while a fully tiled walk-in bay with a raised base costs more. We give a written, itemised price after a survey.
Can you fit one in an existing utility room?
+
Usually yes. We can often tee off existing hot and cold supplies and run a new waste to the nearest soil or gully, keeping disruption and tiling work to a minimum.
Are outdoor dog showers practical in winter?
+
Yes, if they are designed properly. We fit isolation and drain-down valves, insulate exposed pipework and specify frost-tolerant fittings so nothing splits in a cold Essex snap.
Which areas do you cover?
+
Chelmsford, Witham, Maldon, Danbury, Great Baddow, Brentwood, Colchester and the surrounding Essex towns and villages.

We could not recommend Connor and Plumbers.ESX more. His work is of a very high standard, he is very knowledgeable and helpful. We added extra bits along the way but nothing was too much trouble. We are delighted with our new bathroom, Connor works efficiently and is a very tidy worker. Excellent service all round.

Bathroom Renovation
We couldn't recommend Plumbers.ESX more. They completed our bathroom tear out and refit to a professional standard. Connor guided us on vanity size, position and brand selection to ensure we made the most out of our bathroom without compromising on quality. We will continue to use Plumbers.ESX for any future renovations or plumbing needs.

Bathroom Refit
Connor came out to refit some of our bathroom including a new shower and taps. He identified the source of our leak straight away and also fixed our toilet while he was here. He was lovely and friendly and left the place tidy. I can't recommend him enough.
Tanya
Bathroom Refit & Leak
Thank you to Connor for responding and resolving the issues quickly in my home with outstanding professionalism. He changed our bathroom tap, identified a leak which he immediately fixed and corrected some pipes leading to the shower. Everything was left tidy. I would highly recommend him for any plumbing needs.
