January is the month of new beginnings. Every year, as sure as the snow falls here in Wisconsin, I start with a burst of energy, resolving to eat healthy, beef up my workouts and start that novel I’ve been putting off for years. Don’t ask about my success rate. And it’s no wonder—psychologists say you shouldn’t make a million resolutions. They advise picking one project and seeing it through to the end.
Making a change—even a small change–to something as routine as your shower can help make your daily life a lot more pleasurable. After all, the average person spends more than 80 hours in the shower each year. Don’t we deserve a great experience?
Maybe you’re looking for a luxurious space with all the bells and whistles. Or perhaps you want to upgrade without having to remodel. You really can have it all—or as much as you want–when it comes to your shower space.
If you’re in a position to dream big, get ready to swoon. The sky’s the limit for combining spa-worthy steam, your own music, colored lights, rain-simulating showerheads and bodysprays, all arranged to your liking and controlled by a simple-to-use digital interface.
Looking to transform an old bath to a shower while staying in a five-foot-alcove footprint? You’ve still got plenty of choices. One idea is to install a shower base and stall. Look for thoughtful features like seats (perfect for shaving your legs) and shelving to keep things neat and tidy.
Another way to build upon your existing space is to add a digital shower system. The DTV Prompt gives you full control of your shower, from temperature to flow, all at the touch of a button.
Shower doors add an elegant clean look, and all KOHLER doors feature a glass treatment that keeps them cleaner. And you can still have a great showering experience, with a group of components—like a handshower, a rain-simulating showerhead and three bodysprays—all operated by a high-flow pressure-balancing valve.
Even something as simple as replacing your showerhead—perhaps with the Katalyst that offers bigger, more substantial drops—can change your showering experience considerably. Or, add an element of surprise with something like the Flipside showerhead and handshower. Simply flip the sprayhead on its axis to choose from four unique sprays.
That’s the beauty of updating your shower: How far you go is completely up to you!

i am looking for clearance models on free standing whirl pool bathtubs
I purchased a new flip shower head less than a year ago and recently the part (plastic) that the shower head slides into to hold the head and cable cord cracked and fell apart. Now the head and cable just hang -very inconvenient. Is there a replacement part available? I tried Home Depot where I purchased the flip shower head- no luck. Please advise, your help would be appreciated.
Hi John, this is Mark at Kohler. I am sorry to hear about your Flipside. Please send an email to kohlercustserv@kohler.com and include the comment you posted here, along with the model number/finish of your Flipside and your mailing address. We will send you a replacement part, free of charge.
That statement makes me want o buy only Kohler products. That was great Mark!!!!!!
Thanks Trace–always here to help.

I think that second shower is the size of my bathroom, no joke. It’s beautiful though.
Hate to say it b/c I love EVERYTHING Kohler, but that first image looks like a prison shower… in the year 2424.

Just completed a remodel with new Kohler shower and bath using the Purist design. Love it!
Hi Mark at Kohler,
I like your shower as pictured here… What do you call it and where can I find it for sale? Any MSRP?
Thanks,
Eric
Hey Eric–which picture are you referring to? I’d be happy to help you find what you’re looking for.
I bought a Kohler fuacet and shower set, the chrome on them seems to have been done in china, also the white plastic caps have fallen off.
Hey William–this is Mark at Kohler. Sorry to hear about your faucet. If you’d like, you can send an email to kohlercustserv@kohler.com . Provide the model number of your faucet and photos showing the chrome issue–our customer service team will work with you.
We had to rip out a small shower in our master bath due to some water damage. We can put a small 4 ft soaking tub in or a 48 X 40 shower with seat. Neither my hubby or I like baths. We opted for just the shower, but every time I watch a home show on TV, it seems as if they always seem to want a bath in the master! This is a 1969 home, we just remodeled another bath that has a full bath/shower on the same level and we also have a brand new hot tub that can be used year round, too. Do you think we are making a mistake to only do the shower? Anything is better than what we had, but I don’t want to pour the baby out with the shower water! lol
Hey Linda–this is Mark at Kohler. It is definitely not a mistake to put a shower in the master bath. Typically, the rule of thumb is that as long as there is a bath somewhere in the house, then it is not needed elsewhere. A nice shower is great for resale purposes, as most home buyers like showers and a 4’ bath would likely get less use. Hope this helps!
I like the narrow vertical shelving that looks as though it fits between 2×4 studs. What is it called?
Hi Margaret–the vertical shelving is our Pilaster shower locker: http://bit.ly/zSJXxt

You have to drill holes to mount the shower/tub door.It is made to be a pnnrimeet installation. If you decide to remove it in the future you can remove it and plug the holes with joint compound or spackle. Re paint the wall and no one will know..
I want to remove our old bath (1968) and replace it with a shower. The space will be 57 inches
by 32 inches. Is it possible? Can you recommend a bathroom remodeling specialist in our
area that know your products and can do the designing and quality work for me? I want to include a seat and shelves too. Thanks.
I have a thirty-five year old Kohler bathtub, cast iron and standard size. I would like a shower liner that would fit on this tub so that I did not need to cauck frequently. Do you have something available?
Hi Jerry–unfortunately we do not offer a tub or shower liners.
I am renevating my shower currently, who is your importer/ stockist in Australia?
We have to remodel our shower, it is quite large with a large glass door with a four inch raise to enter the shower. We would like to remove the glass door, tile the floor area in a sloping manner as to wheel a wheel chair into the shower area. Have noticed this type of shower in the West hotels where there is no door but a wall of tile, the large area and sloping floor prevents water from flowing outside the shower area. Who can I contact in the Chicago (Western suburb area) to do this project?
We renovated our home in “95 with all Kohler Revival fixtures (sinks, vanities toilets), shower/tub doors, and faucets (3 baths and kitchen) and unfortunately the styles have changed and our bright brass, in my wifes opinion, is out of style and we want to change to rubbed bronze. Are there replacement kits for each that is cheaper than the 20K+ that we have invested? Or do I have to order each part separately?
Hi Allen–this is Mark at Kohler. If you’re looking to change from brass to oil-rubbed bronze, you will need to purchase new products. The only one that you may be able to get service parts for in a new finish is the toilet trip lever. If you’d like, post the model number of your toilet here and I’ll see if I can get the trip lever for you.
If you are interested in oil-rubbed bronze, but are concerned about cost, check out the Devonshire (http://bit.ly/wh35wB) and Bancroft (http://bit.ly/AkNc0t) collections.
Hope this helps–let me know if there’s more I can do.
firsly it sounds like you want the glass laid flat on the wall not advalibse as mould would build up behind the glass. I think you probally mean fix one edge to the wall and the other edge onto bath, well firstly you will need to water proof your plaster wall for the same reasons and you don’t want to damagethe wall or have moiture get trapped inside the wall as it will seep into the wall and cause damage in other rooms. there is a sheet like laminex it’s cheap- use a water proofing piant- let dry- then glue or screw sheet onto wall, use special brackets to hiold screen up-make sure it is anchored into timber frame of wall -not just into plaster. ( make sure you know where elec leads are before doing this) one bracket will go into wall and the other end will go into wall or ceiling. once in place , seal edges on wall and bath with a coloured silicone to suit bathroom decor make sure it is the right type of silicone that doesn’t go mouldy. It’s fairly easy- if in dought ask your local hadware they are allways happy to advise happy showering. The silicone is usually enough at the base to keep glass in place but it must be anchored at the sides near the top-make sure the glass is a proper shower glass incase someone falls into it.
Hi – I’m in Australia also … and have already found the Tradelink and other distributors ….. but … no one can tell me if the SHOWER LOCKER will be available in Australia. I’d love to use one in our up-coming bathroom renovation …. please let me know if it’s coming this way!!
Thanks.
