    Converting a hand held shower to a wall shower
    Hello,

    Any ideas on how best to convert a hand held shower (for a bath tub) into a wall shower head? We're in a new place that has a bath tub with a hand held shower, but no wall shower... can't imagine trying to take baths every morning (no time! ). Help, please!

    Thanks much!

    Can't you get a bracket that would allow the hand-held shower to be on the wall like a regular shower head? You already have the right faucet it sounds like. Other option would be to have a plumber open the wall up and install the necessary plumbing for a shower head. You might want to post this question in the plumbing area too.

    Thanks for all the ideas! We just got back from a Home Depot trip, where we ordered a chrome bracket. Hopefully, it will solve the problem. Thanks again!
