Waukesha County Homeowners; Renew Your Shower, Without a Full Shower Renovation!

New showers are standard in nearly every bathroom remodel. Yet, what if you could have the sensation of a “new” shower, without the time and price tag of a total 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 broad range of functional attributes.

 

Waukesha County homeowners want 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 experts at Brandt Plumbing, the top shower fixture installer (and plumbing services provider) in Waukesha County, will complete this minor shower remodel in quick fashion. 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 spray large volumes of water vertically, are in high demand. Handheld sprayers allow users to target water exactly where needed. 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 Waukesha County.

 

If you’re in an older Waukesha County home, Brandt Plumbing’s professionals are well versed in connecting modern fixtures to existing plumbing. Sometimes older valves are incompatible with new shower trim kits; replacing the valve body usually makes the updated 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 Waukesha County homeowners rarely 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 removing 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 encompasses other trades, might take a week.

 

Besides offering top-quality shower plumbing services, Brandt Plumbing carries a full line of shower fixtures. All are reputable brands, compatible with existing valve types. Parts for repair or replacement are readily available.

 

Whether you want to just spruce up your Waukesha County 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!
