Shower pod hire: a separate mobile shower room

People use shower pod, portable shower pod and mobile shower unit for different things. Some need a shower fitted inside a building; others want somewhere outside to wash while the bathroom is unusable. I offer the second arrangement. The trailer arrives as the bathroom itself, rather than a set of fittings for somebody to install indoors.

That difference is worth settling before comparing quotes. If an indoor replacement is essential, don't plan around WashBox on the assumption it can go through your front door. If you have outside space, tell me what is missing and where the trailer could stand, and I'll explain the hire.

The hot shower shares one private room with a flushing toilet and basin. There is a mirror, heating, lighting and ventilation, with room to get changed. It is enclosed and insulated, rather than an open showering area or a basic plastic cubicle with a hose. We clean and check the unit before each hire.

You are hiring the whole bathroom even if the shower is your main reason for enquiring. One person uses the room at a time. Somebody showering is also occupying the room with the toilet and basin, so consider that when planning for a household or a group staying at an event.

A refit or a property without a working bathroom can leave you looking for temporary washing facilities. Ask the person doing the work when your shower will stop being usable and when the replacement is expected back in service. I cannot give you a standard refit duration that fits every property.

A driveway unit keeps the temporary bathroom separate from the work inside. It also means going outdoors to wash. Think about the walking route, whether the drive is already needed for materials and how everyone in the house will use the room. Those details matter more than giving the same trailer a different name.

WashBox can also be discussed for festivals, camping events, race weekends and worksites. Tell me who needs the shower and when they would use it. A small group spread through a day and everyone wanting to wash at once make different demands on a single room. I don't offer an invented users-per-hour figure.

The ground must be firm and fairly level, with access for the twin-axle braked trailer. There is a step at the entrance and the unit is not fully accessible. If someone cannot manage steps, or needs a particular fitting or clearance, ring me before planning a hire around it.

I run WashBox from Unit 4, 18 Hamburg Way, King's Lynn, PE30 2ND. We cover Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode rather than just a county: delivery is priced on distance from King's Lynn. I'll tow the trailer out, level it, connect it and show you how everything works, then collect it at the end.

You can also arrange self-collection from our base. You'll need a vehicle that can tow a twin-axle braked trailer, with the right licence and insurance. Tell me about the entrance, ground and proposed position before booking.

Tell me whether there is a tap and household socket available, only one of the two, or neither. We can arrange mains, partial mains or off-grid use. I'll go through the setup with you beforehand rather than leave it to delivery day. Don't guess at capacity or how long an arrangement will last: tell me how you expect to use the bathroom and we'll discuss it.

The minimum hire is 48 hours. There is a £250 refundable deposit separate from the hire price. Check the calendar for your dates and send the site details with your request. If you need longer than originally planned, speak to me about availability; an extension needs agreeing, not assuming.
