Yes, they are. Handheld shower heads are handy and easy to use.

They make rinsing simple, help with cleaning the shower, and are great for washing kids or pets. Many models also let you change the spray to suit what you like.

Yes, you can. In most cases, a handheld shower will fit onto your current shower arm with a mount and hose. No big plumbing work is needed.

Yes, it’s easy. Most people can do it in under 30 minutes, without needing a plumber. Here’s a simple 5-step guide:

1. Unscrew and remove the old shower head.
2. Wrap plumber’s tape around the shower arm threads to stop leaks.
3. Screw on the diverter or hose connector and tighten by hand.
4. Attach the hose to the diverter, then connect it to the handheld shower head.
5. Fix the bracket on the wall, place the shower head in the holder, and check for leaks.

The price depends on the type of shower head you choose. Basic models start at about $30. Handheld heads with more spray settings or dual heads can cost $200 or more.

Most packs include all the parts you need. Because they’re easy to fit yourself, you don’t have to pay someone else to do it.

Yes, if you want to use both a fixed head and a handheld, you’ll need a diverter.

A diverter lets you switch the water between the two, or sometimes use them together. Some handheld sets already include one, which makes installation simple.
