Many people expect stronger water pressure after renovating, but sometimes the opposite happens. New mixers, showerheads, or hidden valves can reduce pressure if the pipes are narrow or old. This makes the bathroom look new but feel disappointing when you bathe.
Before and during renovation, ask the plumber to check pipe diameter, sediment buildup, and water supply pressure. If pipes are very old, replace them while the walls are open. Also choose fixtures that match your pressure level — some rain showers need higher pressure than normal. A successful renovation is not just about appearance; it’s about enjoying the shower every day without frustration.
