FAQs
What is involved in replacing my existing showerhead with a rain shower in Petros?
A rain-shower upgrade usually starts with removing your current showerhead and arm, inspecting the supply line for corrosion, and verifying that the water outlet is at a suitable height and angle. If the existing outlet is too low or too close to the wall, we extend the riser pipe or install a ceiling-mounted drop ear elbow. Once the plumbing is secure and leak-free, we add any required support blocking, finish the wall or ceiling opening with an escutcheon, and screw on the new rain showerhead. Finally, we flush the line, test for proper flow and temperature balance, and seal all joints with plumber’s tape or thread sealant.
Will a rain shower require changes to my existing plumbing lines?
For many homes, a rain shower can be connected to the current ½-inch supply pipe with no major modifications. However, if you want a ceiling-mounted head or dual rain/hand-shower system, we may need to reroute the line through the attic or wall cavity, add a diverter valve, or upsize to ¾-inch piping to maintain flow. During the site visit, we check pipe size, water pressure, and framing access so you know in advance whether any re-piping, shut-off valve upgrades, or pressure-balancing valve replacements are needed.
How long does a typical rain shower installation take?
A straightforward wall-arm replacement can be completed in 1–2 hours. If we’re installing a new ceiling drop, adding support blocking, or relocating the supply line, expect 3–5 hours. Full remodels that involve tiling, waterproofing, and new valves can stretch to a full day or be divided over two visits (rough-in and trim). We schedule work to minimize downtime and always leave you with a functioning shower at the end of each day.
Can I maintain adequate water pressure with a rain shower?
Yes, provided your home’s static pressure is at least 40 psi. Rain heads are engineered for a gentle, wide spray rather than a forceful jet, but models with air-injection or pressure-boosting nozzles can deliver a satisfying flow even in the 1.75–2.5 gpm range. If pressure is borderline, we’ll check for sediment in the stop valves, verify that the pressure-reducing valve is set correctly, and discuss larger-diameter lines or a pump if necessary.
What types of finishes and sizes are available for rain showerheads?
Rain showerheads range from compact 8-inch disks to luxurious 20-inch plates. Finishes include polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, and trendy PVD colors like brushed gold. Square, round, and ultra-thin profiles are popular, and many models feature swivel joints, LED lighting, or integrated speakers. We carry WaterSense-certified, lead-free fixtures from trusted brands so you can match or refresh any bathroom style in Petros.
Do rain shower fixtures come with warranties and what maintenance is required?
Most reputable manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties on mechanical parts and 1–5 years on finishes. We register your product and provide the paperwork at installation. To keep the head performing well, wipe the faceplate weekly, run a vinegar soak every few months to dissolve mineral deposits, and avoid harsh abrasives on plated finishes. If you notice reduced flow, unscrew the head, rinse the screen filter, and call us if you need professional descaling or gasket replacement.
