Portable Shower Hire for Festivals, Events and Construction Sites

Hot water shower facilities with four, five or six private shower bays. Toilet Hire 24/7 supplies portable shower units for multi-day festivals, temporary campsites, sporting events, construction projects and other locations requiring additional washing facilities.

Our shower units provide individual spaces where guests, participants or workers can wash and change in privacy. With options for short-term and long-term hire, we can discuss the number of shower bays required, the available utilities and the arrangements needed for delivery, installation and wastewater management.

Unlike standard self-contained portable toilets, shower facilities require suitable arrangements for water, power, hot water production and wastewater disposal. These should be considered early when planning your event or project.

Choose Between Our 4, 5 and 6 Bay Portable Shower Units

We offer different shower configurations to suit the number of users, the available installation space and the length of the hire period.

Portable Shower Capacity: How Many Bays Will You Need?

The number of shower bays required depends on more than the total number of people attending an event or working on a site.

For example, a festival campsite may have showers operating throughout the day, while a construction project may experience concentrated demand when workers finish their shifts.

When calculating the number of showers, consider the expected number of users, typical shower duration, operating hours, peak periods and available hot water supply.

For larger events, several units may be needed. We can discuss the practical requirements once you provide the estimated user numbers and intended operating schedule.

Portable Showers for Festival Campsites and Multi-Day Events

At events where people stay overnight, access to shower facilities can make a substantial difference to the experience of campers, staff and performers.

Our portable shower units can be considered for:

• Music festivals: Shower facilities for temporary campsites, event crews and backstage areas.
• Outdoor sporting events: Washing facilities for competitors following races, tournaments and endurance activities.
• Temporary camping areas: Private shower bays for visitors staying on site for several days.
• Charity challenges: Facilities for participants in walking, cycling and other multi-day activities.
• Outdoor productions: Shower arrangements for crews working at temporary locations.
• Seasonal events: Additional washing facilities for temporary accommodation and event support teams.

For organisers planning complete sanitation provision, we also supply festival toilet hire, sports event toilets and film and TV production toilets.

Portable Shower Hire for Construction Workers and Temporary Worksites

Construction sites sometimes require more extensive washing arrangements than those provided by conventional welfare cabins.

Portable showers may be useful where workers carry out particularly dirty tasks, where specialist washing arrangements are required, or where a project operates from temporary accommodation.

Our multi-bay units allow several workers to use separate shower compartments at the same time, with individual changing space and privacy features.

When arranging showers for a building site, consider the number of workers, shift patterns, available water and power supplies, and the location of the unit relative to changing and welfare areas.

Our construction portable toilet hire and septic tank emptying and waste disposal services may also be relevant to the site's wider sanitation arrangements.

Water Supply, Electrical Power and Gas Requirements

Before hiring a portable shower unit, it is important to establish which utilities are available at your location. Our shower units require suitable arrangements for fresh water, electrical power, water heating and wastewater removal.

The exact connections, utility consumption and gas requirements depend on the shower unit supplied. These should be confirmed when arranging the hire.

Can Portable Showers Be Hired Without Mains Water?

Yes, alternative water arrangements may be possible for sites without a direct mains water connection.

We can discuss supplying IBC water storage tanks and pumps to provide a suitable fresh water supply. This can be particularly useful at rural festivals, temporary campsites and construction locations where permanent services have not yet been installed.

However, the water storage capacity must be appropriate for the number of users and the anticipated shower demand. Water replenishment may be necessary during longer hire periods.

Where mains electricity is unavailable, generator hire can also be discussed. Suitable fuel, safe positioning and electrical connections must be considered as part of the installation.

Portable Shower Grey Water Storage and Disposal

Every shower produces wastewater, commonly referred to as grey water. This needs an appropriate collection or authorised discharge arrangement.

At venues without a suitable discharge point, we can discuss temporary wastewater storage, including grey water pillow tanks with capacities of up to 20,000 litres.

For longer events or high-use installations, the available storage may need to be emptied during the hire period.

Important considerations include:

• How many showers are likely to be taken each day.
• Average shower duration and expected water consumption.
• The capacity of the available wastewater storage.
• Whether an authorised drainage connection is available.
• Access for waste collection vehicles.
• Any site-specific environmental restrictions.

Wastewater must not simply be discharged onto surrounding land or into surface water drains without appropriate authorisation. The disposal arrangement should be established before the showers are put into use.

Privacy, Changing Space and Safety Features

Our portable shower range is designed to provide individual washing facilities rather than an open communal shower arrangement.

Depending on the model, the units offer:

• Separate shower bays with individual external doors or lockable shower rooms.
• Shower curtains or internal privacy dividers.
• Non-slip flooring suitable for wet environments.
• Mirrors for personal grooming.
• Seating and clothes hooks for changing.
• Dedicated changing areas on applicable units.
• Hot water supplied through the unit's heating system.

The individual product pages provide further information about each configuration. If users have specific accessibility requirements, please discuss these before booking, as standard shower bays should not automatically be assumed to be wheelchair accessible.

Delivery, Installation and Servicing of Portable Shower Units

Portable shower hire involves more preparation than delivering an individual toilet cubicle. The unit must be positioned appropriately, connected to the agreed utilities and provided with suitable arrangements for wastewater.

Depending on the booking, our services can include:

1. Pre-delivery planning: Discussing access, ground conditions, available utilities and expected usage.
2. Delivery and positioning: Arranging transport and placement at the agreed location.
3. Utility installation: Connecting the shower unit to the agreed water, power, gas and wastewater arrangements.
4. Operational checks: Checking the installation before use.
5. Servicing arrangements: Discussing cleaning, water replenishment, gas replacement and wastewater collection where needed.
6. Collection: Removing the equipment at the end of the hire period.

For busy festivals and larger temporary installations, attendant services may also be available by arrangement.
