Mapleton Homeowners; Refresh Your Shower, Without a Full Shower Renovation!

New showers are part of nearly every bathroom remodel. Yet, what if you could enjoy the feeling of a “new” shower, without the time and price tag of a full shower renovation?

 

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

 

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

 

Mapleton homeowners crave stronger water pressure, delivered through a variety of different sprays. They seek updated, ergonomic shower handles, in setups that are easy to access and operate.

 

Sound enticing … but you’re not confident in your ability to replace a shower head? No problem. The bathroom shower professionals at Brandt Plumbing, the top shower fixture installer (and plumbing services provider) in Mapleton, 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 deliver large amounts of water vertically, are in high demand. Handheld sprayers permit users to target water exactly where needed. Dual-spray systems are popular for massage effects.

 

Thermostatic valves automatically mix hot and cold water to achieve a preset temperature. And, if you’re sick of typical silver fixtures, matte black and brushed gold finishes adorn many bathroom showers in Mapleton.

 

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

 

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

How about a tub-to-shower conversion?

Many Mapleton 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 installed plumbing, from start to finish, for multiple tub-to-shower conversions.

 

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

 

Going up the wall, the shower valve is replaced or repositioned. A new shower pan is put in, 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 running 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 high-level shower plumbing services, Brandt Plumbing carries a complete 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 liven up your Mapleton shower a bit, or tear down and rebuild it completely, Brandt Plumbing is your trusted partner to create the shower you want. Contact Brandt Plumbing today to take your ideal shower from dream to reality!
