Upgrade your Shower

There is no better feeling than having a refreshing, and luxurious shower after a long day. That's why upgrading your shower is such a great way to keep your bathroom up to date and feeling like a true oasis in the home.

For most homes, you will be able to upgrade your shower arm and head, or take it a step further and go for a Compact Twin Shower. There are also some how-to videos online that will assist in explaining how to remove your shower arm and head.

Here's why compact twin showers are the way to go...

Dual Head Shower

Having an overhead rain shower, and a hand shower gives you the best of both worlds. Use the overhead for a luxurious full body soak, and the hand held for days when you don't want to wet your hair. The hand held shower has the added bonus of making cleaning your shower a whole lot easier especially when you combine it with one of our squeegees.

One Shower Outlet

Only one shower outlet? No worries! Perfect for most homes with a wall shower head where the shower head is fixed directly onto the wall with the arm. A compact twin shower fits onto existing 1/2" plumbing with drill-dree installation, which makes it perfect for retro-fitting!

Change your toilet seat

Is your toilet seat looking a bit yellow? Maybe it's time to change it. Take a look at our various toilet seats online.

Make sure you check the measurements of your current one where the hinges are locked in, and the size of the seat and lid itself to see what will fit the best.

If you're still not sure, send our team some photos and measurements and we will assist you as best we can!

Accessorise your Space

Upgrade your current bathroom accessories. They may feel like small parts of the bathroom, but they can make the world of difference by adding personality and practicality. These are often quite easy to install and will only require a few screws*.

We suggest matching your smaller accessories to your tapware & shower for a consistent look!

Check out our wide range of bathroom accessories including toilet roll holders, towel rails, robe/towel hooks, door handles, and shower shelves.

Upgrades to Add Value

While any the above upgrades will help refresh your bathroom, there are some more significant upgrades you can make to add value to your home.

Replace Baths

Many family bathrooms or ensuites already have baths in them. The issue is when they are outdated or lacking that wow factor.

A simple swap to a new, more modern style of bath, such as a freestanding bath or stone bath, will help increase the value of your home exponentially.

These are items buyers are looking for in their home and a bonus is that it's a lot easier and cheaper to replace an existing bath, as you don't need to make any changes to plumbing.

If you have a small bathroom, don't worry we have amazing small baths that will still grab a buyers attention!
