Hand Shower

A hand shower is a handheld shower head on a flexible hose, mounted on a wall bracket or an adjustable rail. It gives you a directed spray exactly where you want it — easier than a fixed overhead for rinsing, cleaning the bathroom, and washing children or pets. At Big Bath our hand showers come as simple wall sets or full bar sets on a rail, with multi-spray and LED options, across 10 showrooms nationwide.

Why Choose a Hand Shower?

Directed Rinsing

Aim the spray where you need it — far more practical than a fixed head for rinsing hair, soap and the shower walls.

Family & Pet Friendly

Take it down to wash children or pets at the right height, without a fixed head dictating where the water lands.

Easy to Retrofit

A hand shower set fits most existing wall outlets with minimal work, making it a simple bathroom upgrade.

Types of Hand Shower Sets

A wall-mount hand shower set fixes to a wall bracket at one height. A shower bar set mounts the hand shower on an adjustable rail (slider bar), so you can change the height and angle or use it overhead. Some hand showers add LED lighting powered by the water flow.

Hand Shower Features to Look For

• Multiple spray modes — rain, focused jet and mist settings.
• SUS304 / ABS body — stainless for durability, ABS for a light, cool-touch head.
• LED (water-powered) — lights up with water flow, no battery needed.
• Anti-limescale nozzles — wipe-clean silicone jets for even spray.
• Matching finish — chrome, matt black or brushed gold.

How to Choose the Right Hand Shower (Quick Checklist)

1. Wall set or bar set? A wall set fixes at one height; a bar set slides on a rail so anyone can set their own height and angle.
2. Pick your spray modes. Basic sets offer one spray; premium heads offer rain, jet and mist.
3. Choose the material. SUS304 stainless for a premium rust-proof head; good ABS for a lighter, cooler-touch option.
4. Match the finish. Chrome, matt black or brushed gold to suit your tap and shower mixer.
5. Check your outlet. Most hand showers fit a standard wall outlet; confirm the connection before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hand shower?

A handheld shower head on a flexible hose, mounted on a wall bracket or an adjustable rail. Unlike a fixed overhead shower, you hold it and direct the spray where you want it.

Hand shower or rain shower — which should I choose?

A hand shower is directed and flexible — best for rinsing, cleaning the bathroom, and washing kids or pets. A rain shower is a fixed overhead soak that feels luxurious. Many bathrooms have both, or a shower bar set that gives a hand shower plus an overhead option.

What is a shower bar set?

A hand shower mounted on an adjustable vertical rail (a slider bar). You can slide the head up and down to set the height and angle, or lift it off to use by hand. It suits households of different heights.

Do hand showers have multiple spray modes?

Many do. Basic sets offer a single spray; most mid-to-premium heads switch between modes such as a wide rain spray, a focused jet, and a fine mist — usually via a dial on the head.

What are LED hand showers?

Hand showers with built-in LED lighting powered by the water flow (a small turbine inside) — no battery or wiring. The light is a fun, modern touch and can change colour with water temperature.

What finishes are available?

Chrome (classic and bright), matt black, and brushed gold. Pick the finish that matches your shower mixer, basin tap and bathroom accessories.
