Hi Margaret, To change bath taps to have shower is not a problem but please bear in mind this shall all depend on the water pressure that is available at your property, please call a plumber to measure the pressure first before doing anything. Thank you for coming on Rated People.com website where local qualified tradesmen are here to help you.

Hi Margaret If your water pressure is high enough and your system is not gravity you can replace your taps quiet easy with bath shower mixer tap. I would suggest to post your job description on main website then 3 companies will contact you to discuss detail About a job Best regards Rafal

Hi Margaret. It is possable to change the taps to a tap/Shower fitting however you will need to make sure that the water pressure in your property it enough to run it. Most good quality tap manufactures will list the working pressure of the taps. If your pressure is to low the shower part will not work properly/at all. It may be possable to have a pump fitted to increase the pressure but this will increase cost. A plumber should be able to guide you through the problems. Hope this helps. Good luck. Colin
