Updating Your Shower

If you're thinking of updating your existing shower with a more modern and fresh looking design, there are many decisions for you to make. With all of the choices available you may feel a bit overwhelmed, but start by narrowing it down to one thing at a time.

Shower Heads

There are a lot of new and different options on the market to choose from. One of the most important things to keep in mind when looking for a new shower head is if it has the features you are looking for. Narrowing down the choices to only heads that have the options you are looking for such as a removable head or different types of streams will make choosing a shower head easier. Whichever type of shower head you choose, be prepared to do a little plumbing and possibly a lot of plumbing depending on what you find once you get started.

Faucets And Handles

If you have purchased a new shower head you may also want to choose a new set of handles and a bathtub faucet to match. If you have a standalone shower you will not need a bathtub faucet only the handles. When installing the new handles you will need a basic understanding of plumbing and a little experience may help make the process easier. Many homeowners have problems when installing a bathtub faucet. The older pipes that you attach the faucet to may not be long enough to accommodate the new faucet. If that is the case you will have to go into the wall to reach the pipes to extend them. This will not only require some plumbing knowledge but also some construction experience as well, since you will have to go in to the drywall to access the pipes. If you have tiled walls this may require you to remove some tiles to get into wall and have enough room to work.

Shower Stall

If you are considering replacing your shower stall along with the other improvements you're making, you may also be required to replace the existing sheetrock and floor boards underneath to provide your new stall with more level surroundings. The more level and even the area you plan to place the new stall the easier it will be to put in. During this process you will need to have an understanding of how to remove and replace drywall and how to remove and attach fixture to the existing plumbing.

If, after reading this, you decide that this seems like a bit more than you bargained for it is always best to consult a professional renovation company to be sure that your improvements are done in the correct and safest manner. When contacting companies it is best to get estimates from a few different companies before deciding on which one to choose. Choosing to use a professional to make the improvements will guarantee you that the work will be done according to code and everything will work as it should.
