Shower Hoses from Grohe

Changing your old shower hose for a new one is straightforward and can be done in a few simple steps. First, unscrew the old hose from both the showerhead and the tap. Ensure you have the correct replacement hose by checking the fittings and length. Next, attach the new hose by screwing it onto the tap and then the showerhead, ensuring a snug fit to prevent leaks. Finally, test the new hose by running water through it to ensure there are no leaks and the flow is smooth. If you encounter any issues, our team at The Shower Doctor is here to assist you.

To clean and maintain your shower hose, start by detaching it from the shower head and mixer valve. Rinse the hose with warm water to remove any surface debris. For a deeper clean, soak it in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for 30 minutes to dissolve limescale and soap scum. After soaking, rinse thoroughly and use a soft brush to scrub any remaining residue. Reattach the hose and run water through it to ensure it's clear. Regular cleaning can prevent build-up and extend the hose's lifespan. For best results, clean your shower hose monthly.

No, not all shower hoses are the same size. While many shower hoses come with standard 1/2 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) fittings, which fit most UK showers, they vary in length, material, and connection types. Standard lengths are usually 1.25m or 1.5m, but longer options like 2m are also available. Always check compatibility with your shower system and specific requirements before purchasing.

Our shower hoses are crafted from a variety of high-quality materials to suit different needs and preferences. Options include durable stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance, and flexible PVC, which is lightweight and easy to maintain. We also offer robust brass hoses that can withstand high water pressure. Each material is selected to ensure longevity and enhance your showering experience.

Choosing the right length for your shower hose depends on your specific needs and bathroom setup. Standard lengths are typically 1.25m or 1.5m, which suit most showers. For added flexibility, especially in larger spaces or for taller users, consider a 2m hose. Measure the distance from the shower head to the floor and add extra length for comfortable movement.
