Is it possible to fit a shower column over a bath?
Yes, it is even the most common use: the column is fixed to the wall, above the bath, on the supplies of the bath tap. There are two cases. If the column has its own mixer with a spout, it replaces the old bath tap and serves for both bath and shower. If it has no spout, keep a tap or a bath shower mixer to fill the bath. Also plan for a bath screen or a curtain, so that the water stays in the bath.
How do you fit a shower column over a bath?
- Turn off the water and remove the old bath tap.
- Change the seals and screw the column's mixer onto the wall supplies, with the eccentric connectors that make up for the gap.
- Hold the rail against the wall to decide the height of the shower head, then drill and fix it.
- Fit the overhead shower head and the handset hose, turn the water back on and check every connection.
Over a bath, the overhead shower head sits higher than over a shower tray, since you stand in the bath: measure the ceiling height before ordering.
How do you turn a bath into a shower?
The simplest solution, with no building work, is to fit a shower column for a bath: the bath stays, and it becomes a shower. Replacing the bath with a shower tray is another job, involving plumbing and tiling work. A shower column, on the other hand, goes on the existing supplies, without breaking any tiles.
If you are creating a separate shower during a renovation, a concealed shower column hides the plumbing in the wall; these models are designed for a shower, not for a bath.
Frequently asked questions about shower columns for baths
What budget do you need to turn a bath into a shower?
With a shower column for a bath, the budget is that of the column: from €237.90 to €579.90 in this selection, plus a bath screen if you do not have one. Replacing the bath with a walk-in shower costs far more, building work included: ask for a quote.
Shower column for a bath or bath shower mixer tap?
The bath shower mixer is content with a handset on a hose. The column adds a fixed rail, a large overhead shower head and often a shelf: the shower becomes more comfortable. All our column models, for baths or not, are gathered in the collection shower column.
Is a bath column suitable for older people?
It makes showering simpler than bathing, but you still have to step over the edge of the bath. A thermostatic model avoids sudden bursts of hot and cold, and a handheld handset lets you shower seated.
