Expert Handheld Shower Installation & High-Pressure Shower Head Installation
Replacing your old shower head at our shop is one of the quickest and most effective upgrades you can do to give your bathroom - and your daily routine - a serious boost. We all know how frustrating it is to deal with a weak, clogged, or leaking shower head - it's like having a constant thorn in the side of your shower time. Our specialized shower head replacement service is here to put an end to that. Our team of experts can have your new shower head installed in no time, giving you a perfect, leak-free connection that's tailored to the model you choose.
A clogged or leaking current showerhead can be a real pain, but mineral deposits can clog the tiny nozzles of your current showerhead over time, reducing water pressure and causing frustrating leaks. Not only can our shower head replacement service have your shower nozzles replaced in no time, but we also make sure the foundational piece - the shower arm nut - is secure and properly prepared with fresh Teflon tape. We can also help with any leaking shower arm issues that may be causing problems for you.
Our comprehensive shower head replacement installation provides a tight seal. It is perfect if you want a powerful, high-pressure hand held shower head, or if you're after a more flexible shower experience with adjustable shower head units. We handle the more labor-intensive aspects of handheld shower installation, including securing the shower hose and mounting the hand shower bracket to the wall. We bring all the necessary tools and supplies, so you can trust the job will be done to a high standard.
What You Can Expect from Our Service
Our Shower Head Replacement Service is all about getting the security basics correct according to our instructions - proper installation, leak prevention, and optimal shower performance.
Perfect Installation and Leak Prevention - Every Time
Our installation of a new shower head style service is all about achieving a secure, long-lasting, and tight seal by ensuring to tighten the connection joint to prevent leaks and ensure a great showering experience.
-
Removing the Old Shower Head: First, we need to remove the old shower head safely. We use an adjustable wrench or a pair of large pliers to carefully unscrew it from the shower arm, making sure to grip the arm with a towel or wrench to prevent it from twisting or breaking the pipe behind the wall. We make sure the old shower head comes off cleanly, without leaving any residue behind.
-
Preparing the Threads with Teflon Tape: Before we can install the new shower head, we need to give the exposed threads of the shower arm a good clean and then wrap them with some fresh teflon tape. Three or four clockwise wraps should do the trick. That tape acts as a filler, creating a tight seal that prevents leaks under water pressure. And of course, we always make sure we're using a new Teflon tape wrap.
-
Attaching the New Shower Head: We take the new shower head, give the internal gasket a quick once-over to make sure it's properly seated, and then twist it onto the shower arm threads. We get it hand-tightened first, then give it a final quarter to half-twist using a wrench. And, of course, we make sure not to over-tighten the head and crack the plastic or metal nut.
We use a lot of Teflon tape, and we're not shy about it. We've seen plenty of showerhead models over the years, and we know that using the right tools for a well-taped connection is the key to a leak-free shower experience.
Handheld Shower Installation & Flexible Use
If you're after a bit more flexibility and functionality in your shower, then our handheld shower installation service is tailored to your preference. Perfect for kids, or for cleaning the shower, we can install a handheld shower unit in no time.
-
Installing the Handheld Shower Unit: A handheld shower unit involves replacing the old shower head with a diverter head or a bracket that attaches to the shower arm. This lets you direct the water to either the main head or the hand shower via a hose. We install the diverter head first, using plenty of Teflon tape to achieve a tight seal.
-
Securing the Hose and Hand Shower Attachment: We attach the shower hose to the diverter head, then connect the handheld shower head to the other end of the hose. We hand-tighten the hose nut, then give it a final wrench-tightening to prevent leaks. And, of course, we make sure the gasket is in place within the hose nut. We again use teflon tape on the hose threads that attach to the diverter.
-
Mounting the Hand Shower: We install the hand shower mounting bracket on the wall using screws or the manufacturer's recommended adhesive, per the manufacturer's instructions. This lets you use the handheld shower as a traditional shower head. We help you find the best spot for it.
Our handheld shower services ensure that the hose and head are properly connected and secure. You can choose from a range of handheld shower models on the manufacturer's website (e.g., Delta).
Upgrading Your Shower Experience
Beyond just replacing the head, we can help you post upgrade your shower sprayer options, creating a truly custom shower experience that matches your preferences.
-
High-Pressure Shower Head Installation: Many modern showerheads are designed to deliver maximum water pressure while still complying with water flow limits. We can install high-performance showerheads that use advanced internal mechanisms to create a powerful, invigorating spray - giving you an accurate high-pressure shower head installation.
-
Installing an Adjustable Shower Head: We install adjustable shower heads that let you switch up the spray pattern - from a gentle mist to a strong massage setting. All you need to do is twist the head to change the pattern - no fuss, no hassle.
-
Rainfall Shower Head Installation - A Spa-Like Experience: For the ultimate shower experience, we'll install a rainfall shower head, which may mean replacing the old shower arm with a longer, extra-long arm that extends farther over you when you're standing under it. This one's a bit more complex, but trust us, it's worth it.
We can even give you some careful tips on keeping your new shower head clean, including using vinegar to prevent future mineral buildup.

Prepare the Area, Remove the Old Head: First, we clean up the work area and gently twist the old shower head counter-clockwise with an adjustable wrench or pliers to remove it. We don't want to break the pipe, so we're careful. We give the end of the shower arm a quick wipe with a towel.
-
The Next Steps: We wrap teflon tape around the shower arm threads to ensure it twists in the correct direction. Then we put the gasket in the nut of the new shower head and twist it clockwise onto the arm.
-
Final Check and Handheld Setup: We tighten the head firmly, then use the wrench to give it one more twist to seal it properly and prevent leaks. If we're installing a handheld shower, we attach the shower hose and the hand shower to the diverter nut (hex nut), wrapping Teflon tape on the hose threads. We give the hose nut a good tighten.
-
Testing Time: We turn on the water and perform a quick test to check for leaks at the connection joint. We test the handheld trigger and the spray patterns to make sure they're just right for you.
