Shower Handsets

A shower handset — also known as a hand shower — gives you the kind of practical flexibility that a fixed overhead head alone simply cannot provide. Direct water precisely where you need it, rinse without effort, and make the whole shower experience more versatile for every member of the household. Browse our shower handset range below for replacement and upgrade options in all available finishes.

Replacing Your Existing Shower Handset

If your current handset has cracked, blocked, or simply deteriorated over time, replacing it is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to refresh your shower without touching anything else. Most shower handsets use a standard connection compatible with the majority of shower hoses available in the UK market — always check the connection type on individual product listings to confirm compatibility with your existing hose before ordering.

Single Function vs Multi-Function Handsets

A single function shower handset delivers one consistent spray pattern — straightforward, reliable, and the most practical choice for everyday use where simplicity matters more than versatility. A multi-function handset offers several selectable spray modes — typically a standard flow, a massage jet setting, and a reduced flow option — giving more flexibility for different users and different showering preferences within the same household.

Pairing With a Slide Rail Kit

A shower handset works best when paired with a compatible slide rail kit — the adjustable bracket keeps the handset at the right height for each user and holds it securely in position when not being used as a hand shower. If you are replacing a handset as part of a wider shower upgrade, it is worth considering whether a new slide rail kit would complete the refresh more effectively than a handset swap alone.

Finish Options

Shower handsets in our range are available in polished chrome and matt black — always match the finish to your existing hose, shower arm, and valve for a cohesive result throughout the installation.
