What’s in Our Shower Accessories & Spares Range?
Our shower accessories and spares range is organised into three straightforward categories — making it easy to find exactly what you need without wading through products that aren’t relevant to your installation.
Slide Rail Kits: cover adjustable height shower rail systems — the practical choice for family bathrooms where multiple users need the flexibility to position the hand shower at different heights. Browse our slide rail kits for the full selection.
Arms, Heads, Handsets & Hoses: is where you will find everything needed to deliver water from your valve to the shower zone — wall and ceiling shower arms, overhead shower heads, hand shower handsets, and flexible hoses. Whether you are completing a new installation or replacing a single worn component, browse our arms, heads, handsets and hoses range for the full selection.
Shower Outlets: covers the connection fittings that link your shower valve to the water delivery components above — outlet elbows, wall outlets, and elbow fittings across all major finishes. Browse our shower outlets range for the complete selection.
Finish Matching Across Accessories
Whichever accessories you are buying, always match the finish to your existing shower valve and bathroom hardware — polished chrome, matt black, brushed nickel, and brushed brass are all represented across our accessories range.
FAQ's
A slide rail kit (also called a shower riser rail kit) is a complete set that includes a handset, a hose, and a vertical rail that allows you to adjust the height of the shower head up and down. If your shower currently only has a fixed overhead head or a basic wall outlet, a slide rail kit is one of the most practical upgrades you can make — especially if multiple people in the household use the shower at different heights.
Most shower hoses use a standard 1/2 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread connection, which means a large proportion of hoses will fit a wide variety of handsets and valves. However, some branded showers use proprietary connectors, so it's always worth checking the specifications of your valve before ordering.
Shower arms come in various lengths, typically ranging from 150mm to 400mm, and connect your overhead shower head to the water supply outlet in the wall or ceiling. Measure the distance from your wall outlet to where you'd like the shower head to sit — this will tell you the length you need. Also check whether your outlet is wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted, as the arm style differs between the two.
Reduced pressure from a shower head is almost always caused by limescale build-up inside the nozzles, which is very common in hard water areas across the UK. Remove the shower head and soak it overnight in a bowl of white vinegar — this dissolves the scale without damaging the head. If the head is beyond saving, replacing a shower handset or fixed head is one of the most affordable accessories upgrades you can make.
Absolutely — and it's one of the most cost-effective bathroom improvements you can make. As long as your existing hose connection uses a standard thread, you can swap the handset or fixed head independently. Just make sure the new head is compatible with your water pressure; low-pressure systems need a head designed specifically for them, otherwise you'll get disappointing flow.
A shower outlet (or wall outlet) is the fitting mounted directly on the wall that your shower hose connects to — it's where the water comes out of the wall. A shower arm, on the other hand, extends from the wall or ceiling and holds a fixed overhead shower head at the right height and angle. Both are separate components and can be replaced individually if needed.
Standard shower hoses are typically 1.25m or 1.5m long, which suits most shower setups. If you have a tall household, a walk-in shower, or want more flexibility when using a handset, a 2m hose gives you much more reach without tangling. Avoid going too long if space is tight, as excess hose tends to pool on the floor and wear out faster.
Yes, this is a common issue and usually comes down to a worn or cracked slider bracket. The rubber or plastic gripping mechanism inside the slider wears down over time, especially with daily use. Replacement slider brackets are available for most rail sizes and are very affordable — you don't need to replace the whole kit.
Shower outlets are the fittings that connect your hose to the water supply on the wall. Yes, they come in a range of finishes including chrome, brushed nickel, matt black, and brushed brass — so you can match them with your other bathroom hardware. When ordering a replacement outlet, check both the thread size and the finish to make sure everything coordinates properly.
Start by noting down the brand and model of your shower valve or enclosure — this is often printed on the product label inside the valve cover or on the original packaging. If you can't find the model, a photograph of the part you need to replace often helps narrow things down.
