FAQS

Will copper or brass rust, go green, or require much maintenance outdoors?

No copper and brass do not rust like iron. Instead, they develop a natural patina over time, deepening in tone to rich browns and eventually, in some environments, a blue-green verdigris. This change is not damage, but rather a protective layer that makes these metals ideal for outdoor use.

If you love the character of ageing metal, there’s very little maintenance involved. But if you'd prefer to keep the original shine, we offer satin lacquered finishes to slow tarnishing, as well as maintenance kits with polish and cloths. Unlacquered copper typically begins to darken within a few weeks depending on climate and exposure.

Whether you want a sculptural, aged look or a polished centrepiece, the finish is up to you.

Can I install this shower myself, or do I need a plumber?

Yes our copper and brass showers are designed to be easy to install at home. Many customers simply connect them to a standard garden hose using the included universal hose connector, with no plumber required. For mains-fed or custom plumbing setups, we recommend using a plumber. Either way, every shower comes with all the fixings and clear step-by-step instructions to get you set up quickly.

Can I customise the shower to suit my space, style, or height?

Yes every Proper Copper shower can be tailored to you. We offer a range of customisations, including different shower-head styles, tap handle designs, and spout projections. Whether you’d like a larger rainfall head, a slimmer profile, or a longer reach, we can build it to your spec.

If you're taller or designing for a specific setup, we can also adjust the overall height or arm length. Looking for something truly unique? We welcome bespoke commissions and can create one-off pieces with your preferred finishes, features, or even engraved detailing.

From minimalist garden setups to spa-grade statement pieces, we’ll help you build the perfect cold shower.

Can I leave this shower outside all year round, including by the sea or in harsh weather?

Yes. All of our copper and brass cold outdoor showers are built for year-round, all-weather use, whether you’re installing by the sea, in the mountains, or in your back garden. These materials are naturally resistant to corrosion, salt air, and frost, making them ideal for harsh climates and coastal environments. Each shower includes a built-in drain-off valve to help prevent freezing and bursting in winter.

Common use cases include:

Post-sauna plunge showers in snowy garden spas

Surf and swim rinse-off points at beach houses or coastal rentals

Refreshing garden showers for wellness and cold therapy

Outdoor adventure stays and woodland retreats

Cold-only spa and wellness installations

Outdoor pet rinse stations that stay functional all year

Cabin showers and nature lodges with seasonal exposure

Whether it's wind, salt spray, snow, or summer heat — your Proper Copper outdoor shower is made to handle it beautifully.

How long will my order take, do you ship internationally, and what if I need to change something?

We handcraft every Proper Copper shower to order, typically within 7 - 15 working days. If you need your order sooner, just let us know we’ll do our best to prioritise it. We ship worldwide, and include any plumbing adaptors required for international setups.

Once dispatched, you’ll receive full tracking details so you can follow your delivery in real time.

Need to make a change or return something? We understand plans can shift. If your item isn’t customised, you can usually return it within 30 days - just contact us as soon as possible so we can help.

We’re here to make every step smooth, wherever in the world you’re ordering from.

What if something doesn’t fit, goes wrong, or I need help after it arrives?

We’re here to support you every step of the way. Your shower comes with full installation instructions, and most setups are simple, especially hose-fed options. If something doesn’t fit (like a hose, bracket, or plumbing thread), we’ll get the right part sent out, including NPT adaptors for US customers.

If you’re unsure how to install it, feeling stuck, or something isn’t quite right - just send us a photo or message. We’ll walk you through it or help your installer directly.

And if you're concerned about the finish changing colour, don’t worry - it’s natural for copper and brass to patinate outdoors. Want to keep it shiny? We offer lacquered finishes and care kits. Changed your mind about the finish or design? We’ll do what we can to swap it or offer advice.

You’re not alone after checkout—we’re just an email away and happy to help.

Is it safe, sustainable, and suitable for my outdoor space?

Yes, our cold-only showers are a low-impact, eco-friendly choice. They use no electricity or heating, and flow regulators are available for water conservation. It’s a practical, sustainable addition to your garden, spa, or retreat.

You don’t need a drain or soak-away, most customers install over gravel or stone for natural drainage, but you can add a custom drainage system if preferred.

All fixtures are safe, tested, and pressure-rated for reliable outdoor use.

Sustainable. Practical. Built to blend beautifully into natural spaces.
