Whether you're organising a festival, a construction site, a camping trip, or an outdoor event, access to proper hygiene is essential. Portable shower hire is an excellent solution for providing clean and convenient washing facilities in locations where permanent bathrooms are unavailable. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about luxury portable shower hire, from the types available to key considerations when renting.
What are portable showers?
A portable shower is a self-contained, temporary facility that can be set up in various outdoor locations. At JB Toilet Hire, our showers are multi-cubicle units, designed to provide running hot water, privacy, and comfort. Perfect for users in remote or temporary settings, our portable showers are a great complement to portable toilet hire at events like rustic, outdoor weddings, temporary glamping sites, and music festivals. The portable shower units must be connected to an existing water supply.
When to hire portable shower units
Portable showers are commonly hired for a host of reasons and in different situations. These are some of the most popular:
Outdoor festivals & events - music festivals, sports events, and other large gatherings require adequate hygiene facilities for attendees. For multi-day events, the presence of portable shower units can positively impact the experience of attendees and boost the reputation of the event.
Construction sites - workers at remote or large-scale construction projects benefit from easy access to showers which allow them to freshen up before heading home, perhaps in their own vehicles.
Camping & glamping – with the rise in popularity of rustic, outdoor wedding celebrations, guests who are camping or glamping can enjoy a comfortable, home-from-home experience.
Emergency & disaster relief - in disaster-struck areas, portable showers help maintain hygiene for affected communities. With the rise in localised flooding and the devastating effect these have had on communities, access to hot showers can make all the difference.
Renovations and refurbishments - if your bathroom is out of action due to renovations, it can be impractical for whole families to go without facilities for any length of time. Portable toilet and shower unit hire can be a practical solution. For commercial settings that offer shower facilities – such as sports centres, swimming pools, and gyms – refurbishments that affect the normal running of the business can impact revenue and may even lead to temporary closure. Again, portable shower hire is an ideal solution which can allow the business to continue operating.
Filming on location – remote location filming is often without permanent facilities and portable shower hire will go a long way towards raising morale and maintaining health and safety regulations.

At JB Toilet Hire, we offer a choice of trailer-mounted shower units. Trailer-mounted showers come with several units housed on a single trailer, making them easy to transport and set up.

Our fleet also includes a fully-accessible, DDA compliant accessible portable shower. A great addition to any event, the standalone unit does require a water supply of good pressure, connection from a 25mm fresh water pipe or stand pipe situated close to the showers (pipework and installation to mains can be provided as an extra). Customers must provide suitable drainage for waste to soak away, and a fork lift is required.
