Flexible Shower Solutions for Every Bathroom

A hand shower gives you control that a fixed rose can't. Whether you're rinsing off, washing children, cleaning the shower recess, or directing water exactly where you need it, a hand shower on a flexible hose is one of the most practical upgrades you can make to any bathroom. At PlumbingSales.com.au, we stock hand showers from Cob & Pen and Nero Mecca — two quality brands offering contemporary styling across a range of finishes.

Our Hand Showers Range

We stock hand showers across two quality brands, each with distinct design credentials and finish options.

Cob & Pen — Napier Hand Shower

The Cob & Pen Napier is a round, multi-function hand shower suited to contemporary and transitional bathroom styles. It connects to a standard shower hose and works equally well as a primary shower head or as a secondary hand shower in a combo installation. Available in:

• Chrome
• Matte black

Nero Mecca — Air Hand Shower

The Nero Mecca Air hand shower is a refined option for bathrooms where finish matching to other tapware is a priority. Featuring an air-injection spray for a softer, fuller feel, it's available in the widest finish selection in the range:

• Chrome
• Matte black
• Brushed gold
• Matte white

Why Choose a Hand Shower?

Hand showers are a versatile addition to any bathroom, offering practical benefits that fixed overhead installations can't deliver:

• Directional control — Point the water exactly where you need it, whether rinsing hair, washing children, or cleaning the shower enclosure
• Accessibility — Essential for seated users or those with limited mobility, and highly recommended for family bathrooms
• Easy replacement — Hand showers connect via a standard hose fitting, making them one of the most straightforward bathroom upgrades
• Finish flexibility — With options across chrome, matte black, brushed gold, and matte white, it's easy to coordinate with your existing tapware and bathroom accessories
• Secondary shower function — Pair with a fixed overhead shower in a combo installation for maximum flexibility

Choosing the Right Hand Shower

Function and spray settings. The Nero Mecca Air uses air-injection technology to create a fuller spray from less water — a practical consideration where water efficiency matters. The Cob & Pen Napier is a multi-function hand shower offering more than one spray setting, suitable for everyday use.

Finish matching. If you're fitting out a new bathroom or replacing existing products, take note of the finishes available on other tapware and shower fittings in the range. Nero Mecca offers four finishes including matte white, making it the stronger choice for bathrooms with white or warm-toned tapware. Cob & Pen coordinates well across the broader Cob & Pen shower range — including rail showers, combo showers, shower heads, and arms — in chrome and matte black.

Hose compatibility. Hand showers connect via a standard 1/2 inch BSP connection and work with most standard shower hoses. If you're upgrading a hand shower only, your existing hose is likely compatible. If replacing the full setup, consider our flexible hoses range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hand shower?

A hand shower is a shower head attached to a flexible hose, allowing it to be held and directed freely during use. Unlike a fixed overhead shower rose, a hand shower can be aimed at specific areas, making it ideal for rinsing, bathing children, or use by people with limited mobility.

What's the difference between a hand shower and a rail shower?

A hand shower is the shower head and hose component only. A rail shower combines a hand shower with a height-adjustable slide rail, allowing the shower head to be docked at a fixed height when not being held. See our rail showers range if you need the full rail-and-hose set.

Can I replace just the hand shower head without replacing the hose?

Yes, in most cases. Hand showers connect via a standard 1/2 inch BSP fitting and are compatible with most existing shower hoses. If your hose is in good condition, you can replace the hand shower head only.

Do hand showers meet Australian Standards?

Yes. All shower products at PlumbingSales.com.au are WELS-rated and comply with applicable Australian Standards. WELS flow rate information is available on individual product pages.

Can I install a hand shower myself?

Replacing an existing hand shower head on an existing hose is generally a straightforward DIY task requiring no tools beyond hand-tightening. Any work involving water supply connections must be carried out by a licensed plumber in accordance with AS/NZS 3500 and applicable state regulations.

Do you stock hand showers in finishes other than chrome?

Yes. Our hand shower range is available in chrome, matte black, brushed gold, and matte white depending on the model. The Nero Mecca Air hand shower offers all four finish options; the Cob & Pen Napier is available in chrome and matte black.
