North Shore Homeowners; Renew Your Shower, Without a Total Shower Renovation!

New showers are standard in nearly every bathroom remodeling project. Yet, what if you could have the aura of a “new” shower, without the time and cost of a complete shower renovation?

 

Swap out that old shower head for a new model with a modern finish, and built-in, relaxation-inducing features! Changing a shower head and trim is one of the most least pricey ways to update the look and feel of a bathroom … without ever touching the walls or tile.

 

Aesthetics always play into these decisions. The reasons extend beyond, though, into a wide range of functional attributes.

 

North Shore homeowners desire stronger water pressure, delivered through a variety of different sprays. They seek modern, ergonomic shower handles, in setups that are simple to access and operate.

 

Sound enticing … but you’re not confident in your ability to replace a shower head? No problem. The bathroom shower pros at Brandt Plumbing, the top shower fixture installer (and plumbing services provider) in North Shore, will finish this minor shower remodel in short order. You just turn on the water, and enjoy the new experience! 

What are popular features of shower fixture replacements?

Ready? If you haven’t shopped these products in some time, the variety of options might be a lot to absorb!

 

Rain shower heads, which drop large volumes of water vertically, are in high demand. Handheld sprayers allow users to target water exactly where desired. Dual-spray systems are popular for massage effects.

 

Thermostatic valves automatically blend hot and cold water to achieve a preset temperature. And, if you’re tired of standard silver fixtures, matte black and brushed gold finishes adorn many bathroom showers in North Shore.

 

If you’re in an older North Shore home, Brandt Plumbing’s tradespeople are well versed in adapting modern fixtures to existing plumbing. Sometimes older valves are incompatible with new shower trim kits; replacing the valve body usually makes the newer fixtures work.

 

Old galvanized piping might need updating for the sake of reliability, as well. Unsure? Brandt Plumbing is glad to answer your questions ahead of time, to ensure your complete satisfaction. 

How about a tub-to-shower conversion?

Many North Shore homeowners barely use their old-style bathtubs. Converting them to a shower stall, and opening the former tub space for other uses, is a common minor bathroom remodel.

 

Brandt Plumbing makes it easy. Its professionals have handled plumbing, from start to finish, for many tub-to-shower conversions.

 

The first step is taking out the old tub. Next is reworking and upsizing the drain to its new location.

 

Moving up the wall, the shower valve is replaced or repositioned. A new shower pan is installed, usually set in mortar. Finally, fixtures and trim are connected.

 

Other tradespeople will be involved, for needs such as tiling, carpentry, drywall and waterproofing. Count on Brandt Plumbing to put together a winning team to get your new shower renovated, and spraying soon! 

How long do these minor bathroom remodel projects take?

If you’re just replacing a fixture(s) and trim, plan on a couple hours. For valve replacement, count on three to six hours.

 

The plumbing part of a tub-to-shower conversion – which Brandt Plumbing handles – usually takes a day. A full shower remodel, which also involves other trades, might take a week.

 

Besides offering high-level shower plumbing services, Brandt Plumbing carries a complete line of shower fixtures. These are reputable brands, compatible with existing valve types. Parts for repair or replacement are readily available.

 

Whether you want to just spruce up your North Shore shower a bit, or tear down and rebuild it completely, Brandt Plumbing is your trusted partner to create the shower you deserve. Contact Brandt Plumbing today to transform your ideal shower from dream to reality!
