When standard Wetwall Caddies don’t fit, we make one that does
Standard Wetwall Caddies suit around 98% of shower mixers, but some inline mixers, diverters, basin and vanity mixers, designer tapware and unusual pipework layouts need a purpose-built solution.
Rather than adapting the installation on site, we design and 3D print a Custom Wetwall Caddy around the tapware you have chosen. Each unit is made to order in New Zealand and follows the same wall cavity protection principle as the standard range, helping seal the penetration while keeping the mixer accessible for future servicing.

When a custom Wetwall Caddy is the right fit
It is the tapware that determines whether you need a standard or custom caddy. If the mixer shape, size, set-out or pipework layout falls outside the standard range, we can design a Custom Wetwall Caddy to suit.
Custom options can be created for:
- Inline mixers
- Basin and vanity mixers
- Bath and shower diverters
- Designer or oversized tapware
- Apartment installations where pipework comes from above
- Pipework entering from the side or underneath
- Other non-standard wet area configurations
Custom caddies suit both new builds and renovations, provided the wall is open at the framing or re-lining stage.
Simple to specify and order
Ordering starts with the tapware rather than the wall. Send us the product code, make and model, along with a photo or manufacturer’s specification sheet where available.
For some mixer styles, we may also need to confirm the handle orientation or pipework layout.
From there, we size the caddy to suit the tapware while working within standard New Zealand framing and wall lining requirements.
Custom caddies are made to order, so there is no need to choose from a fixed list of sizes. We can also work from architectural drawings and specifications for larger or more detailed projects, so that builders, plumbers and specifiers can incorporate the penetration into the waterproofing detail.
3D printed to make installation simpler
Custom Wetwall Caddies are 3D printed to order in New Zealand, allowing the design to be built around the exact requirements of the tapware.
Standard features include built-in levels, pre-positioned mounting holes, sealing bosses and mounting points designed for the specific mixer.
This reduces the amount of adapting or improvising required on site and gives the installer a clear, purpose-built solution.
All custom Caddies are supplied with the required access holes already removed, helping ensure a compliant installation while making the job quicker and easier for the plumber.
The same protection, made for different tapware
A Custom Wetwall Caddy performs the same core function as the standard range, providing a seal for the tapware penetration and giving waterproofers and tilers a defined point to finish their work.
The caddy forms part of the wider wet area waterproofing system rather than replacing it, and it helps maintain access to service cartridges and other mixer components from the front without breaking into finished walls.
Custom Wetwall Caddies are backed by a 15 year warranty and can be used across residential, apartment and other wet area projects where standard tapware protection is not suitable.
Standard Wetwall Caddies suit around 98% of shower mixers. A custom caddy may be needed for inline mixers, diverters, basin or vanity mixers, designer tapware, or installations with unusual pipework layouts.
Usually, the tapware product code, make and model, plus a photo or manufacturer’s specification sheet is enough to get started. We may also need details about handle orientation or how the pipework enters the wall.

Yes. Custom caddies can be used for both new builds and renovations, provided the wall is open at the framing or re-lining stage so the caddy can be installed correctly.
