A dribbling showerhead calls for rehabilitation or replacement, not a bathroom renovation. Best of all, you don't even need the plumber to get a whole new shower experience.

All showerheads are interchangeable, since the size of a shower arm is standard. Twist off the arm at the tip of the pipe (use pliers, if necessary), then twist on the new one.

Consider a showerhead that has multiple spray channels for a drenching, rainlike feeling. Real Simple likes the new Aquafall Adjustable from Waterpik ($40, www.waterpik.com). It has a six-inch head and a long arm that adjusts and pivots.

If you're not ready to replace your showerhead but you've noticed a drop in water pressure, the spray channels may be clogged. To clean the showerhead, unscrew it, then let it soak in white vinegar for 10 minutes. All showerheads should be wiped off monthly with a sponge to prevent buildup.
