Shower Pump Replacement Dublin – Fast & Reliable Service
Shower Pump Replacement Dublin involves removing a failing or noisy pump and installing a new, properly sized unit to restore stable water pressure in homes with gravity-fed or attic tank systems. Replacement is typically recommended when pumps are over 6–10 years old, leaking, overheating, or cutting out during use, as a new unit offers better reliability and efficiency. The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE) advises that qualified professionals must install shower pumps to ensure correct pipework, safe wiring, and long-term system performance.
As an Authorised Stuart Turner Installer in Dublin, we’re approved to install and replace the full Monsoon, M-Series and Universal range to manufacturer standards. This ensures every pump is fitted safely, quietly, and with optimal performance.
When Is It Time to Replace Your Shower Pump?
If you’re dealing with weak water pressure, a noisy pump, or a system that keeps cutting out, it may be time for a shower pump replacement Dublin. Most pumps only last 6–10 years, and once they start leaking, humming, or stopping during showers, replacing the unit is usually more cost-effective than constant repairs.
We replace all major shower pump brands across Dublin — including Stuart Turner, Grundfos, and Salamander — and we install the right model based on your home’s pressure, plumbing layout, and water system. With over 23 years of experience, we make the entire replacement process quick, tidy, and stress-free.
Signs You Need a Shower Pump Replacement
A failing pump gives warning signals long before it stops working. These are the most common issues our Dublin customers report:
Loud humming, rattling, or grinding noises
Weak or inconsistent water pressure
Pump cuts out during showers
Visible leaks or corrosion
Pump overheating or tripping the power
Very old units (6–10+ years in service)
If any of these sound familiar, replacing the pump is often the safest and most reliable solution. You can also check our shower pump troubleshooting guide for common issues.

Frequently Asked Questions – Shower Pump Replacement Dublin
1. Can you replace a shower pump yourself?
You can replace a shower pump yourself, but it’s not recommended unless you’re confident with plumbing and electrics. Pumps need correct pipe sizing, anti-vibration fittings, safe wiring, and leak-free connections. A wrong installation can burn out the new pump or cause water damage. Most Dublin homeowners hire a qualified plumber to avoid issues.
2. Do I need a plumber or electrician to fit a shower pump?
A plumber does the main installation, but some setups also require an electrician if new wiring or a fused spur needs fitting. Our team handles both so the job is completed safely and in one visit.
3. How much does it cost to change a shower pump?
Changing a shower pump in Dublin typically costs €750–€1,350, depending on the pump type (single, twin, or negative head) and how accessible the installation area is. Replacing like-for-like is cheaper than switching to a bigger or more powerful model.
4. How to tell if a shower pump is broken?
A shower pump is likely broken if you notice:
Loud humming, rattling, or grinding noises
Weak or fluctuating water pressure
Pump switching off mid-shower
Leaks, dripping, or corrosion
Pump not starting at all
If your pump is more than 6–10 years old, replacement is often the best option.
5. What is the lifespan of a shower pump?
Most shower pumps last 6–10 years, depending on the brand, water quality, installation, and daily usage. Stuart Turner and Grundfos models generally last longer when properly maintained.
6. Do plumbers fix shower pumps?
Yes — plumbers repair, service, and replace shower pumps. We handle everything from noisy pumps and airlocks to full pump replacements across Dublin.
7. What causes a shower pump to burn out?
Shower pumps usually burn out due to:
Running dry (no water supply)
Airlocks in the pipework
Blocked filters
Overheating motors
Incorrect installation
Limescale buildup
Proper installation and regular maintenance prevent most burnout issues.
8. How long does a shower pump replacement take?
