George Thomson established "The Shower Doctor" in 1993 to focus on shower repair in the Edinburgh area.George is a second generation plumber, and with his father ran a successful plumbing and heating business. In the late 80's this 40-year-old family business was sold.
In 1993 George realised that many perfectly good showers were being consigned to the scrap heap, often because the average plumber or electrician had no in depth knowledge of how they worked or more often they had difficulty in locating and obtaining spare parts. George started The Shower Doctor to remedy this.
Over the subsequent years the repair business expanded and so did the stock holding of spare parts. Other contractors heard that most of the parts that usually go faulty in a shower could be bought off the shelf, and the more obscure parts could normally be sourced within a few days. As the over the counter and internet sales grew, the business has expanded to the extent we now have 7 employees dedicated specifically to spares sales. The continued growth meant that in April 2008 the company with its 16 staff moved to its new custom built office/warehouse unit.
The Shower Doctor Ltd has five engineers that carry out shower servicing and repairs exclusively and therefore have a wealth of experience of the problems encountered with faulty showers. If the Doc's guide can't help then send us an e-mail and we will do our best to assist you (Please provide details of the make, model, and age of your shower with your correspondence,).
Our dedicated team are here to help and are more than happy to answer any queries you may have.

I found this company while trying to find out why my shower stopped working, a couple of video clips later I knew what was wrong and how to repair it, I ordered the part with next day delivery, and even when the courier messed up the delivery and couldn't be contacted, a quick phone call to The Shower Doctor and they contacted the courier. I still recieved the part on time and my shower is now as good as new. Top class service, I can't recommend these guys highly enough!

Shower Doctor quickly identified my shower and gave very helpful advice as to what the issue was likely to be, helping me to fix it without the need for an expensive spare part. They were more helpful than my plumber! I didn't need to buy anything this time, but would gladly do so in future. Great company; rare personalised advice.

A brilliant service. The guys here know just everything about any kind of shower and when, like mine, it looks as if all is lost and you're going to have to fork out hundreds of pounds on a new one... ring the Shower Doc and they will tell you how it can be fixed and what part to order! Thanks :-) Frances.

I used the Shower Doctor after having intermittent issue with my shower. Call out was arranged, and the engineer was prompt, friendly and helpful! He established the fix and the part required which was fit on the same visit. The engineer (think his name was Andy) was extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely use this service again.
