Shower Wastes & Drains FAQs

Can I replace a shower waste myself?

Yes, you can replace a shower waste yourself if you're comfortable with basic plumbing. Just remove the old waste, clean the area, apply some sealant, and fit the new unit.

What size is shower waste in Australia?

In Australia, most shower waste outlets are 50 mm. This size works well for standard showers and makes sure the water drains properly when connected to a floor waste gully. Bigger sizes are only needed for setups with more fixtures or for commercial spaces.

Should you use silicone on shower waste?

Yes, it’s a good idea to use silicone around the shower waste. It helps seal the connection between the waste and the shower base, stopping leaks. Be sure to use a high-quality, waterproof silicone made for bathrooms to get a reliable seal.

Should shower waste be under the shower head?

Ideally, the shower waste should be placed near the shower head. It helps the water drain quickly and prevents it from pooling. However, the exact placement depends on the shower design and plumbing layout.

How do you unblock a badly clogged shower drain?

To unblock a clogged shower drain, follow these steps:

  1. Remove the drain cover and clear out any visible debris.
  2. Use a drain snake or flexible rod to break up deeper blockages.
  3. Pour boiling water down the drain to loosen any buildup.
  4. Mix baking soda and vinegar, pour it down, wait 15 minutes, then flush with water.
  5. If needed, use a drain cleaning gel, following the instructions on the label.

Premium Shower Drains and Wastes

Good drainage keeps your bathroom safe, clean, and free from puddles. The shower drain you choose also changes how your bathroom looks. A premium drain helps stop clogs, makes cleaning easier, and gives your shower floor a neat finish. At MyHomeware, we have many sizes, shapes, and colours to pick from, all made to fit modern bathrooms and work well every day.

Exploring Different Styles

We have many shower drains to suit your bathroom. Linear drains work well in walk-in showers. They look sleek and modern and can handle lots of water easily. Square drains are practical and fit neatly into most layouts. Round drains have a classic style that is simple and easy to use. Each type comes in two looks. A shower grate finish adds a bold detail you can see, while a tile insert blends into the floor for a hidden effect.

Material Matters

Quality materials are the key to lasting performance. Our stainless steel drains resist rust and keep a fresh look. Brass drains are strong and add a premium touch. Aluminium drains are light but still sturdy. Each one is made to handle daily water use and stay easy to clean, so you get a drain that works well and looks good for a long time.

Sizes That Fit Every Space

Bathrooms come in all shapes and sizes, and so do our drains. A small drain is great for compact showers. Bigger drains are better for fast water removal in larger spaces. Linear drains can even run the full width of a shower floor, with lengths from a few hundred millimetres up to several metres. Whatever your layout, there’s a size that fits just right.

Finishes to Match Your Style

A drain isn’t just for function; it can also complete the look of your bathroom. You can choose from shiny chrome, bold matte black, or warm tones like brushed gold and champagne. Each finish is made to match your shower rail and tiles, so everything feels neat and well put together. Strong coatings help stop wear, keeping the finish looking fresh and polished.
