    Im hoping to put a shower in a shed .

    I have a water supply out there . I was just wondering is it possible to plumb directly into a toilet ,basin and shower ?

    Any help appreciated.

    What sort of shower?

    (I presume you want hot water for the shower)

    If a normal plumbed shower you will need a way of heating the water in a cylinder (boiler/immersion etc). You will need a tank in your shed to feed the cylinder with water for the shower and a shower pump to have any useful pressure.

    If an electric shower, you will most likely need to put a tank in the loft of your shed to feed the shower. Most, but not all, electric showers have to be tank fed rather than mains fed. Your main issue with an electric shower will be the wiring of it. You will need an electrician for this, not a DIY job. You may not have enough power going to the shed for a shower. In addition, if there's another electric shower in your house somewhere you will probably need a relay so both cant operate at the same time.

    what is in the shed at the mo? re sinks, jacks, etc.
    How far is it from the CU?
    How big is the existing cable?

    Cheers for the reply ...I have a heavy cable going to the shed to supply the shed with intention of fitting switchover in the house .At the minute all I have is a water supply and waste going to the shed with nothing plumbed up .I was hoping to go with an electric shower but I wasn't sure if the water supply would be good enough to supply shower etc .
