If you thought leak-proof shower pods were just for bespoke hotels, think again. Their compact, self-contained design and ease of installation makes them ideal for a catalogue of applications. Here are five of the most creative.
1. Glamping
Glamping has a staggering compound annual growth rate of 10.9%, with the UK leading the way in the luxury getaway market. In the glamping world, creativity is everything, with everything from shepherd’s huts, treehouses, yurts, and even giant wine barrels making 2025’s list of dream locations. For most of these locations, self-contained shower pods are the only answer. They can be slotted into almost any space, and their leakproof design means that unusual accommodation will be full of guests rather than water.
2. Festivals
The days where a festival was a health and safety endurance marathon are long gone. Today, even Glastonbury has showers, although festival goers pay between £15 and £50 for the privilege. For festivals, shower pods are an ideal solution because they can be easily installed in modular units, enabling mobile shower blocks to be positioned and removed as required. A huge bonus is the unbeatable privacy of the self-contained pod, as well as its ease of cleaning. A simple wipe down is enough to keep even a high-traffic, mud-splattered pod looking fresh.
3. Airbnb Conversions
Airbnb is piqued as the ‘golden market’, with unusual Airbnb’s acquiring almost cult-like status online. This can create a major headache for owners, especially when trying to convert unique spaces into profit. Awkward shapes, low ceilings, and access are all part of the Airbnb conundrum, and issues such as leaking showers and hygiene can wreak havoc on reviews. Thankfully, self-contained leak-proof shower pods are effortless to clean, and fit into even the most unexpected spaces. At Advanced Showers, we even offer alcove pods!
4. Beaches
Showering at the beach is a European custom rather than a UK familiarity. As such, with ever increasing international tourism numbers visiting Britain, managers of beach sites and their associated camping areas can expect clientele that will knock off at least one star if this service is not provided. Maintaining outdoor shower facilities can be almost impossible in a British winter, where both weather catastrophes and vandalism can be rife. However, installing pods inside a modular unit that can be safely locked and stored during the winter months can boost summer traffic while keeping the architecture secure.
5. Fire Stations
One of the defining features of UK fire stations is their unusual locations. Converted Victorian schoolhouses, old factories, and even antique convenience stores can all be home to this most essential of services. Unfortunately, the difficulty of these spaces means that many fire stations are lacking in basic facilities, such as hygienic shower units. Fighting fires exposes first line defenders to a host of toxic chemicals and smoke, and self-contained leak-proof shower pods offer a way to quickly rinse away the stress. Importantly, they can be installed in even the most challenging of buildings. This can often be done in under 24 hours, ensuring service is not interrupted.
