Looking for a quick and easy way to freshen up the look of your shower? A shower trim kit allows you to replace the trim on your shower fixtures without replacing the shower valve. That means you can do it yourself without calling in a plumber. A shower kit provides everything you need to update the look of your shower. This includes the shower head, shower arm and flange, along with the shower handle to turn the water on and off, and the escutcheon plate that covers the hole in the wall.
When choosing a shower trim kit, you need to be sure to match it with the type of shower valve you have. The identification may be visible on the valve. If not, you can do an image search online or take a photo of the valve and bring it with you when shopping for shower kits. The mounting holes on your new shower trim kit must be in the same position as the holes on your existing trim. In some cases, the mounting holes are at the 5:00 and 7:00 positions, while others are at 2:00 and 7:00. Check the kit packaging to see which type of valves the trim has been designed to fit. Shower kits are available in a wide variety of finishes to match your existing décor. Popular choices include chrome, black, and stainless steel.
