Shower Handsets

A shower handset - the handheld head on a flexible hose that makes showering more versatile and accessible - is one of the most frequently replaced bathroom accessories, and one of the easiest to upgrade. At the DIY Hardware Store, our shower handsets cover the standard replacement heads compatible with universal 1/2" BSP connections on shower hose fittings and slider rail systems in UK domestic bathrooms.

Modern replacement shower heads offer multiple spray patterns - from a concentrated massage jet through to a wide, gentle rainfall spray - at a fraction of the cost of a full shower system replacement. The spray pattern dial or button on the handset allows the user to switch between modes during use. Economy-rated heads incorporate flow restrictors that reduce water consumption without noticeably reducing the user experience at normal domestic supply pressures.

All standard UK shower handsets use a 1/2" BSP threaded connection, making them universally compatible with standard UK shower hoses. Available at the DIY Hardware Store in chrome and white finishes.
