Some shower heads are affixed to the shower stall in a stationary position, and others are attached with a flexible shower hose. The shower hose gives the bather the opportunity to enjoy increased functionality in the bathroom, and this is because the shower head can be held manually by the bather. Many individuals make the decision to upgrade to the use of a shower hose in their bathroom, and some may be looking for a convenient way to make this upgrade. Others may already have a shower hose installed, and they may be interested in making a repair or in replacing the existing hose with a newer model soon. As a reputable Singapore plumbing company, we can assist with all of your shower hose service needs.
When a Repair May Be Needed
The material that is used with most shower hoses found in Singapore homes is designed to be highly durable yet flexible. The hose should be able to be moved and manipulated by the user in all angles without resulting in damage. However, over time and with regular use, the material may wear out, and the material may develop smaller or larger holes. Generally, this type of damage to a shower hose will require a full replacement rather than a repair. However, if you have noticed that water is leaking near the connection at either end of the hose, a plumber may provide excellent results with a repair to these areas.
When a Replacement May Be Needed
A replacement of your shower hose may be needed when the main section of the hose has been damaged, but there are also other reasons why a homeowner may need or want a hose to be replaced. For example, the lengths of the hoses can vary considerably. Some hoses are designed to be used from a standing position. If you have recently installed a shower chair in the space, you may need to make an upgrade to a longer hose that can reach a bather in a sitting position. Some may also want to upgrade to a different hose for purely aesthetic purposes. For example, one shower hose may be made out of a white vinyl material, and others may be made out of a metallic material. The look of the shower hose can have a considerable impact on the overall decorative appeal in the shower.
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Shower Hose
Whether you have made the decision to make a replacement out of need or desire or you are installing your first shower hose, there are a few factors to consider before you make your purchase. A plumber can replace the hose for you with in-stock materials, but most homeowners will benefit from selecting their own hose. When selecting your shower hose, pay attention to the length of the hose. It should be ideal for your intended use without being excessively long. In addition, you may consider the benefit of choosing a hose that is made out of the same material as your shower head. This can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the shower.
