Update Your Bathroom With New Tub and Shower Fixtures
Bathrooms featuring a shower and bathtub combination require special faucets and fixtures. Most sets of shower fixtures include a shower head and handles to turn the water on and off. For the tub, you’ll also need a fill spout. At Lowe’s, we carry various bathtub and shower faucet combinations to suit your needs.
Shower and tub combo products go by a few different names. While some manufacturers or marketers may call a shower and tub combo a “shower and bathtub combination,” others may use the more concise term “shower bath.”
Bathtub and sink faucets are not interchangeable. A sink faucet won’t be compatible with a bathtub installation. Bathtub faucets have a higher flow rate and use a different installation method than sink faucets. On the other hand, you can use a bathroom faucet for a bathtub, but you need to ensure you’re selecting a faucet designed specifically for a tub, not a shower or sink.
Bath tub shower faucets are available in several finishes, including brushed nickel, brushed brass and matte black. You can find both single- and double-lever handles, so consider what style best suits your shower setup. Additionally, you can choose between fixed shower heads and handheld shower heads.
As you shop, consider the look of the shower fixtures, as well as how they’ll function in your bathroom. The setup of your shower might dictate fixture installation. For example, if you have wall-mounted fixtures now, you’ll want to install your updated faucets the same way.
