You might not think there isn’t much when it comes to installing a shower, but as plumbers in Melbourne, we can tell you there is a lot that must be considered!
From tiles to shower heads and steam showers to outdoor showers…there’s indeed a lot to think about.
Our team at Watermaster thinks that the shower is one of the most important parts of every bathroom.
Why?
Well, because it’s used every single day, and multiple times, too, if you live with others.
The shower (regardless if you’re a morning or evening shower-er!) is an opportunity to take a little bit of time for yourself, whether that’s preparing for the day ahead, or winding down for the evening.
Thinking about shower installation? Has an expanding family negated the need for an additional bathroom? Are you renovating or building?
Whatever the reason, make sure you read on the learn the important dos and don’ts of shower installation, courtesy of our Masterful plumbers in Melbourne.
There are two types of showers: tub / shower combos, and walk-in showers.
Of course, it’s totally up to you what shower you choose, but just remember there are a few considerations for each.
You mightn’t think it’s a critical choice to make, but as new parents (or soon-to-be parents) you’ll find having a tub invaluable. A tub/shower combination means you have the freedom to enjoy a shower or bath, whenever you like.
However, as we touched on above, many bathrooms simply don’t have the room for a bath. A freestanding shower is often the right (or only!) choice for a smaller footprint.
On the other hand, if you’re simply replacing an old or damaged shower, you might want to choose what you have now, to reduce your workload and guarantee it’ll fit!
Our plumbers in Melbourne simply can not stress this enough!
Whether it’s your builder performing initial designs or your plumber coming in to begin the plumbing installation part of your renovation, it’s critical they get the right measurements, and that everything is correctly aligned.
As they say – measure twice and cut once!
Your plumber will also ensure all drainage pipes and plumbing fixes are precisely in the right spot, to ensure seamless installation of your shower.
Any errors throughout your construction will delay the project, and can end up costing you more than you’d budgeted for.
Once the work starts, it can be difficult to change things around. So make sure you get it right the first time around.
We know, we know – outdoor showers are really cool.
They’re a great way to get back in touch with nature and we’ve all seen them on The Block and other renovation shows.
They’re just really awesome additions to the house.
Let’s not forget that this is Melbourne though.
We see a lot of people struck by the idea of the outdoor shower…but we always try to remind our clients that you’re probably not going to use it as much as you think.
In warmer climates like Queensland outdoor showers are the best thing since sliced bread!
In Melbourne though…it’s a little bit too cold most of the year for an outdoor shower.
Take your time and do it right.
We know when you start a project that you just want it to be finished, but if there’s one piece of advice we can give you…it’s to take your time.
When you rush the process or set unrealistic deadlines, important things will get missed.
Think about your home now, and what your plans are for the future:
Pick high quality taps, tiles, and hardware, and rely on the professional advice of those around you.
Take your time when you pick out the tiles and the tapware. Take your time when you are measuring the bathroom.
More than anything else, though, you want to take your time when you choose your plumbers in Melbourne.
