Thread and hose fit
Most heads use a half-inch BSP thread, but check by taking the old head or measuring it. Use a rubber washer at the joint and tighten gently by hand and a quarter turn with a cloth-wrapped tool.
Materials
Brass and steel heads last far longer than plastic ones, which crack at the thread and leak. Choose a head with a ceramic or rubber seal and a smooth lever. Chrome should be even.
Flow and pressure
A flow-control wheel helps when pressure is high or low. Clogged holes reduce flow, so descale occasionally. Low pressure may need a pump rather than a new head.
Cleaning
Soak the head in diluted vinegar for an hour to remove scale and brush the nozzle holes gently. Replace the washer if it leaks. Rinse the head after cleaning.
Replacing
Turn off the angle valve, unscrew the old head, fit the new head with a washer and test for leaks. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
What to check before buying
- Thread size. Half-inch BSP
- Material. Steel or brass
- Seal. Ceramic or rubber
- Hose fit. Tested
Head or full set
If the hose or valve is also old, buy a full set. A new head on a perished hose will leak again within weeks. See toilet showers.
Before you decide
Take the old head to the shop, choose steel or brass and fit a new washer. A replacement muslim shower head is a cheap repair that restores a working bidet.
