Exposed Shower Valves

Exposed shower valves are mounted directly onto your wall tiles, making installation quick and hassle-free – perfect for upgrading your shower without major renovations. With their traditional design and finishes like polished chrome or brushed brass, they’re a great way to add a vintage or industrial touch to your space. Exposed valves are also ideal for bathrooms with thin walls or solid brickwork, where concealed options can’t be installed due to limited space for internal pipework. Many of our options are mixer valves, allowing you to easily adjust the water temperature. Plus, most designs are thermostatic, ensuring a steady temperature even if water is used elsewhere in your home. Shop exposed shower valves today.

FAQs

What is an exposed shower valve?

An exposed shower valve is a type of shower control system where the valve and pipework are mounted directly on the surface of the wall, rather than being hidden behind it. This means the pipework connecting the hot and cold water supplies to the valve, as well as the valve itself, is visible and easily accessible.

What are the benefits of an exposed shower valve?

There are many advantages to choosing an exposed shower valve, including:

  • Easy installation – Because the pipework doesn’t need to be hidden behind the wall, exposed valves are ideal for retrofitting into existing bathrooms or for homes with solid walls where it’s tricky to create space inside the wall.
  • Accessibility – With the pipework and valve visible, maintenance and repairs are much easier. If a leak occurs, it’s quick to spot and fix without having to open up walls, saving you time and effort.
  • Timeless style – Exposed shower valves are as much about style as they are about function. The visible pipework gives your shower a traditional feel and can act as a design feature.
