How to replace shower rail?

Hi What new shower rail kit is available where the rail holes are 72cm apart from top to bottom?  Or can i keep the same rail and just buy a new shower head and adaptor to connect to the rail.  Thank you

Hello @KYLIEDEMPSEY 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your shower rail.

 

The good news is that you can keep your rail and just change the shower head along with the hose. The wall outlet connection can stay as well as it is a standard size. Any of the replacement shower hoses and heads will fit your shower rail. But should you decide to remove your shower rail, make sure to bring it with you so that you can compare it to the new unit you'll be purchasing from the store.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thank you 

 

What about the attachment that attaches to the shower rail that the shower head fits in?  That is the broken bit and the shower head just drops as per the pic?

Hi @KYLIEDEMPSEY 

 

Thanks for that extra information regarding your shower rail. If that is what's broken, it will be necessary to replace the entire set. There are some adjustable sets that can fit into a 72cm space, but I suggest bringing your shower rail to the store to make sure that the set your getting is the same size. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

These shower sets are adjustable, but I would still encourage you to bring your shower rail just to make sure that they are the correct height.
