Shower drain covers will frequently get rusty and covered with soap scum, so when your drain cover starts to resemble a lab experiment, use this guide as supplied by JP & DC LLC to find out how to perform shower drain replacement on your cover today, or better yet, give me a quick call to make an appointment.
Minimal tools are needed, so make sure you have everything that you will need handy to complete this task.
How to Remove your shower drain cover
There are different types of drain covers available today, and this guide covers a simple shower drain grate cover. This type is a flat metal piece that lays flat on your drain cover and is held in place by either 2 or 4 screws.
Some bathtub drain covers are referred to as screw-on covers, these can be turned easily for removal. However, there are some types that will require you to lift and loosen the screws as they are hidden under the drain cover.
This is an important maintenance step that will help to keep your shower drain in good working order, plus, reduce the chances of clogging. Just like you would remove a showerhead, you need to follow the instructions closely, as you are dealing with plumbing and don’t want to cause a leak.
Bonus
While you are taking apart your drain cover, think about making an upgrade to your shower. Today, you can find good handheld showerheads to use for relaxing, which are both affordable and of good quality. However, if you would rather prefer a more spa-like experience, why not opt for a rainfall showerhead.
