But for your old shower ,
Not all shower heads are removable, meaning that descaling a fixed shower head can seem a bit trickier than an adjustable one. However, as with any problem that involves limescale, your first port of call should always be vinegar.

Vinegar :

Handheld shower heads:

1. Remove the shower head from the hose.
2. Be careful not to lose the rubber washer when you do as this stops water from leaking between the head and the hose.
3. Leave the shower head to soak in the vinegar for at least 30 minutes, preferably around an hour. If your shower head is brass, do not leave it in the vinegar for any longer than 20-30 minutes.
4. Rinse shower with water.
5. Remove remaining limescale with an old toothbrush, be care full with the nozzle.
6. Rinse again with water and clean with soft cloth.
7. Reattach to the hose and turn on the shower to flush out any remaining limescale.

Fixed shower heads:

1. Take a plastic bag, fit over your shower head and half fill it with vinegar.
2. Place it over the head until the head is completely submerged in the vinegar and use some string or an elastic band to tie it in place.
3. Leave for 30 minutes, preferably around an hour. If your shower head is brass, do not leave it in the vinegar for any longer than 20-30 minutes.
4. Turn on the shower to flush out any deposits left inside the shower head.
5. Repeat the process if need.

limescale cleaners :

If you’ve got a heavy build-up that is proving resistant to vinegar, then your local supermarket will most likely stock an array of sprays that will do the job. 

Be careful when using these that you don’t spray overhead and accidentally get chemicals in your eyes.
