FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this wall bracket?
The primary benefit is providing a secure and easily accessible place to hold your hand shower, enhancing shower convenience and maintaining a tidy bathroom appearance through its concealed mounting.
Is this bracket compatible with any hand shower hose?
It is designed to be compatible with most standard hand shower hoses. However, for the best fit and aesthetic, it is recommended for use with the Ideal Standard Alero collection or similarly styled fittings.
How do I clean the Matt Black finish?
Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.
Does the product come with a hand shower?
No, this product is the wall bracket only. The hand shower itself is sold separately.
How difficult is the installation process?
Installation is designed to be quick and simple, with instructions provided. It typically involves basic DIY skills and tools.
Can the holder be rotated or adjusted?
The holder is fixed in its cylindrical design to securely grip the hand shower; it does not offer rotation or adjustability.
What materials is the bracket made from?
The bracket is crafted from high-quality materials designed for durability and long-lasting use, finished in Matt Black.
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels loose after installation
Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely to the wall. If the wall material is soft, consider using appropriate wall anchors for a firmer grip.
Hand shower does not sit securely in the holder
Verify that the hand shower head is the correct size and shape to fit snugly within the cylindrical holder. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing it from seating properly.
Matt Black finish appears scratched or dulled
Stop using abrasive cleaning products immediately. Clean the surface gently with a damp microfiber cloth. Minor scratches may be inherent to the finish over time with heavy use.
Difficulty removing or replacing the hand shower
Check for any debris or limescale buildup in the holder or on the hand shower connector. Clean these areas and try again. Ensure the hand shower is angled correctly for easy removal and placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation is designed to be straightforward and typically takes only a few minutes, provided you have the necessary tools. The bracket utilizes concealed mounting, which involves securing the base to the wall and then attaching the holder. Detailed instructions are included with the product to guide you through the process.
Compatibility: This wall bracket is specifically designed to hold standard hand showers. While it is part of the Ideal Standard Alero collection and coordinates well with other fittings in that range or similar colour schemes (Matt Black), it is generally compatible with most standard hand shower hoses. For optimal aesthetic integration, consider pairing it with other Alero range products.
Care: To maintain the Matt Black finish and ensure longevity, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
