Shower Heads

Honestly Handy's plumbing specialists provide expert shower repair and shower installation services including running shower repair, unclogging shower drains, shower installation, shower replacement, and shower leak repair.

​

Probably the most trendy variety in shower heads is the rain shower head.  Rain shower heads usually have larger heads with more holes, so there are more water jets covering a larger area, and can feel like showering in the rain. Isn’t it strange that people don’t like getting caught in the rain, but they love rain shower heads?

As the owner of an inexpensive, yet well performing unit myself, I understand the hype.  You don’t have to contort your body to get sprayed down on by a small spray pattern from a conventional shower head and somehow the water streams feel softer.

​

Regardless of your shower head preferences, we can remove your old one, and install the new one correctly using teflon tape, so that it is leak-free and delivers that smooth, rainy feel every day. Or, if you like the shower head you currently own, but it’s leaking or not working properly, we can definitely give it a tune-up!

Tip 1: Cleaning your Showerhead

Wondering how to remove ugly white mineral buildup from your showerhead? Try this quick method:

• Fill a plastic sandwich bag halfway with white vinegar.
   

• Secure the bag over the showerhead, fully submersing the buildup in vinegar. Secure the bag with a rubber band or twist tie and leave it in place overnight.
   

• On the next day, remove the bag and gently clean the showerhead with a soft toothbrush to remove the loosened deposits.

​

• Your showerhead will look and function like new

Tip 2: Water Saving Low-Flow Showerheads

Concerned about household water usage? Consider installing a low-flow shower head. Water is usually the second-most expensive utility in the home, and the shower is one of the main uses of water in the home (after the washing machine). Low-flow shower head installation can save you up to $200 a year on water bills, as well as having a positive effect on the environment.
