The cost of a shower also depends on many factors, such as the price of water in your area, how long you run the shower for, and the cost of heating the water.
If you take your time in the shower, a ten-minute session is likely to use 150 litres of water, which takes 5.76 kWh to heat, and this comes to around 25p a bath.
The study indicates the average cost of a shower is between £0.69 and £1.88 per shower.
Looking at the numbers indicate running a bath is cheaper than having a shower, but this might not be the full story. If you have a five-minute shower, often enough for some individuals, you can half the cost, and the cost of cleaning yourself will be lower than with a bath. Then again, some people will be distinctively unimpressed with the thought of only getting five minutes in a shower.
Similarly, if you prefer cold showers to start your day, you’ll use less energy, and this can lower your overall expenditure in getting clean.
Also, the number of baths and showers a person takes in a week might vary, so think of your circumstances, and come to a conclusion which is best for you.
