Treat Yourself to a Spa-Quality Shower

It’s not everyday that you get a chance to head to your nearest spa to enjoy the quiet, soothing relaxation of a steam shower, mud bath or even hot stone massage. Now more than ever, homeowners are pinching their pennies and trimming down on luxuries in order to save. But installing what can be considered as a spa-quality showerhead is more affordable – and easier — than you think. Follow these guidelines when choosing to update your bathroom’s showerhead. In less time than you think, you’ll be relaxing and relieving your stress and tension – without having to schedule a visit to your local salon!

Out with the Old

Before undertaking this home renovation project, you’ve got to remove the existing shower stall units. Be sure to properly disconnect or turn off the water prior to unscrewing any shower head or faucet. Next, collect all old parts including hinges, screws, drain covers and bathtub faucet knobs; be sure to keep track of these items so that none accidentally fall down the pipes and cause unnecessary clogging.

Update your Design

Now is your chance to install a fancier yet affordable shower stall unit. If you liked your previous shower head’s finish, keep it consistent. However, now is also the perfect time to consider changing the hardware and overall design of your bathroom by upgrading or changing the finish of your bathroom hardware accessories. Typical showerheads are available in chrome, satin nickel and bronze.

Get Fancy

Showerhead units are available in a variety of styles. If you enjoy the soothing benefits of a steam shower, choose an all-around showerhead combination kit. The tension-relieving power of a massaging showerhead, however, is a more popular choice when it comes to relaxing in the shower. These single showerhead units pack a powerful punch when it comes to water pressure and is ideal if you’d like to release tension and muscle aches. Additionally, if a simple bubble bath is your perfect getaway, a simple showerhead and bathtub faucet combination kit is a great match for your bathroom; these kits are the most affordable and are perfect for the on-the-go family.
