Shower Doctor TV: How to replace a shower head holder/slider bracket?

[@Arley42]

Thank you. I thought I'd bought the wrong 'clip' part or would have to get somebody else to remove the pole...... But after watching your video I knew I wouldn't break anything so felt up to doing i myself, and it was all changed in 5 minutes.

[@CruiseOnAWhim]

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen because you showed how to remove the bracket, and the various types. Thank you!

[@johnmillercrawford6243]

Brilliant! Pure gold! Thanks for demoing all the different types of brackets and how to take them apart - mine was one of those and I before I watched your video, I just couldn't see how to get it off. You saved the day!

[@jonathanwolff5000]

Thank you - this was a job that didn't look obvious until you showed me how to do it! I was worried about breaking the bracket casing but your instructions were incredibly clear so it was no problem at all. Many thanks!

[@kalelkar]

Over a decade old video but still one of the best ones on here.

[@MiscellaneousContent]

Super helpful! I especially appreciate the explanations of the different screw covers and how to remove them.

[@EVEY71]

TY we had no idea how to do this, quite a mystery when we looked at it. Thanks for enlightening us and now we are able to do it ourselves. BRILLIANT

[@jackvillanueva3085]

I transferred to a new condo and will be sharing a toilet with other people. I just want a nice clean toilet and we have a broken shower head holder. Arm with this knowledge I think now I can fix it. Thank you!

[@trevorkeene2324]

George, Thank you for the clearest and most comprehensive video I have been able to find on the net for this job. I did not have the gumption to look under the bottom shower bar post until you showed me where to look. When I did, I found a small grub screw holding the cover on. All I need do now is find a good fit allen key and see if it will undo without undue effort. Thank you and regards, Trev, Coventry

[@jurekgrzenda]

Excellent video. Clear instructions. Gives you the confidence to the do the job yourself. Thank you!

[@showerdoctor]

We're glad you enjoyed our service, have a great day.

[@lauraoh8048]

Thanks Shower Doctor- I just fitted my new shower slider all by myself with your help. You are a legend

[@ngipiksari]

I've been thinking about replacing my shower bracket but I have the last type that you show in the video that doesn't have an obvious way to open it so this video really helped. Thanks "Dr" George.

[@naufalbuhary7961]

[@paurooshasppardiwala3416]

Thank you. Very informative and helpful.

[@keepercoach]

Thank you for the great video, I have an offshore "chrome" shower head/slide bracket, and for the life of I cannot get the cap off, I am tempted to actually grind/cut the slider bracket off and simply replace it with one similar in this video. My question is: Is there no easier way of determining the diameter of the rail?

[@hove9]

Very informative, especially the rail sizes. I've just ordered a new slider from you following watching this!

[@srper2]

Thank you for this video, you explain so clearly how to do this! Saved our shower!

[@mickyboy1083]

Absolutely brilliant, such a simple job but I wasn't sure how to do it, great video and thank you.

[@luluvsraven]

I've had a broken shower for a long time. Thanks man! Xx

[@marymccarthy6128]

without this video I would have had to get some one out to make the repair for me . Thank you . perfectly explained and demonstrated.

[@guppi277]

Is there a way to fix the slider or it can ONLY be replaced ..? My slider rod fixture is straighforward. I was hoping to get some idea about how the slider can be fixed. My slider wont stay in place and the lefthand side tightening screw head doesnt hold the slider. The slider slides down to the bottom bringing the shower head down.

[@dominicshannon9338]

Thanks. All sorted now.

[@FqqT]

Thank you .Simple and clear and informative. just what i needed as i have to change that bracket bit :)

[@morgoldrelb]

Thanks for this. Solved 2 problems I have with showers at the Care Home I work in.

[@sladdekongen]

Should you use some kind of sealent on the screw going into the wall?

[@moazdaza2044]

thank you so much it helped me a lot!

[@jancaney6161]

Really helpful thankyou but my rail measures 30ml in diameter and I cannot find a eplacement. It has the same rail fitting as your and fits into the 3rd example you show in in your demonstration.Can you advise?

[@dazgriff1957]

Hi, thanks for the video. I just one problem. I've just moved into my flat and need to replace the bracket on my newteam shower. However, the screws in those rail are rusted. Any ideas how I can get them out and replace to screws also? Thank you

[@momalove01]

Thank you! Fitted my broken bracket like a pro 😉

[@andrewkemp7314]

Hi George. My shower holding bracket has stopped working. It just slides down to the bottom of the slide bar. It there a way to fix it or will I need to replace it? I push the button but nothing happens. There's a rubber plug on the front side that is hidden by the shower handle. If I take out the rubber plug, is there a screw or something that I can adjust to fix the slider button?

[@nicholasfeinberg8990]

worked for me. thanks doc!

[@antoin1981]

Excellent one...very precise and helpful, the tutorial was so easy and i was able to help myself by replacing the bracket...Thanks..

[@TraceybytheSea]

Thanks, that worked for me!

[@showerdoctor]

To remove a rusted screw you can drill the head off, then remove the body with a pair of pliers or pull the plastic bracket off over the screw and remove the screw again with pliers, then use a larger head screw to reattach the bracket.

[@alanmckee2132]

i bought a b&q shower riser with a spring how do i intall it thanks

[@johnnypastrana6727]

Thank you dear sir....very helpful for me. Best wishes always!!!

[@Wolverine0005]

Thank you so much. Really helped me.

[@stevekonarski235]

For MIRAS shower brakets , there is a hole at the bottom near the wall. You have to unscrew using an ALUM key to loosen the outer casing of the bracket

[@delatroy]

Thank you sir. Great tips!

[@nightfireuk2001]

Very useful thanks for the video

[@nancyglynn2719]

[@DesFnes]

Hi I have a Triton T90xr it's developed a leak from the shower head when I removed shower head and hose the leak is coming from the bottom of the unit above the prd can you advise how to fix ?

[@showerdoctor]

Unless the heating tank I can't think where the leak is from. Switch the power off give it a good dry out then look very carefully to see if you can spot where the leak is from, if you can find out where it is from then we may be able to help a little more.

[@CFav7]

To find out the correct diameter of your pole, it's easier to use a measuring tape to get the circumference and then divide that by Pi (or 3.14) to get the diameter.

[@Toto8opus]

OK, thank you!

[@mattkaps83]

saved my day! thank a lot

[@SelaYair]

Cool. Very helpful.

[@HektorBandimar]

Does it matter if the shower holder release button is on the top or the bottom, as long as the hose holder is the correct way up?

[@Munroist2354]

+MrUniman69 The button is usually on top but it is not really important.

[@HektorBandimar]

***** Thank you for your reply, I put it on upside down and I don't really want to dismantle it all again to place it the correct way up. Keep posting, your videos are very helpful, many thanks.

[@dianne6046]

My shower head keeps moving . Does the shower head holder need replacing .?? When I first moved in I had a bigger shower head . When the shower hose broke The owner replace it with a smaller shower head . . It's Chrome
