Handheld showerheads add real versatility — rinsing kids, washing dogs, cleaning the shower walls, or simply making bathing easier for anyone with limited mobility. We swap the old fixed head for a handheld-and-bracket combo and confirm the hose connection is leak-free.

How it works

Remove and prep

We unthread the old showerhead and clean the shower arm threads, removing any old tape or mineral deposits.

Install bracket and hose

We mount the slide bar or bracket (drilling into the wall if a slide bar is chosen), connect the hose to the arm, and attach the handheld head.

Test for leaks

We run the shower through all spray settings and check the arm fitting and hose connections for any drips.

We can help

Problems we fix

Hose that kinks at the arm connection due to too-tight a bend radius
Slide bar bracket mounted only in grout or tile glaze, not anchored to studs
Old shower arm that is corroded and won't accept the new hose fitting cleanly
Handheld unit that drips at rest because the diverter valve wasn't seated

Handheld Showerhead Install — FAQ

Do I need a slide bar or can I use a fixed bracket?

A fixed bracket at one height works fine for most users. A slide bar lets you adjust height for different users or tasks and is worth the small extra cost for family bathrooms.

Will the handheld hose have enough pressure?

Standard handheld hoses reduce pressure slightly due to the added length. Most users don't notice the difference. If you already have low pressure, a handheld unit with a pressure-boosting head can help.

Can you install a combo fixed-plus-handheld unit?

Yes. Dual shower systems — with a fixed overhead and a handheld on the same arm or on a separate slide bar — are a popular upgrade we install routinely.
