Doing the bathroom and will be getting a thermostatic shower installed.
Generally speaking, what is a good solidly built reliable brand/model? Mira seem to be good.
Briefly seen one or two ages ago in the usual DIY warehouses and some of them had rattly controls - ie tolerances not that great...could have just been display model though. £150ish budget...cheers
Screw fix usually have one on offer most months.
Grohetherm 1000
Mira are pretty good. I've got a couple of these fitted [url= http://www.mirashowers.co.uk/onlinecatalog/detail.htm?productNumber=1.1660.007§ion=Mixer%20showers ]Mira Shower[/url] I'd also recommend a look at the Aqualisa range.
After having recessed valves fitted previously, I'm enjoying the simplicity of removal should anything go wrong. One small grub screw & the valve can be removed complete.
D.
We have an Aqualisa. Works well.
Had one issue when it packed up, we called out a service engineer and he fixed it by tightening a grub screw that had come undone on the on-off button. £86 well spent. 😐
Davesport - i want that in my bathroom thats a cracker. Cheers thats 400 quid i wasnt expecting but hum hoo i need that electric piece of crap out of here.
Hansgrohe are solid.
Not likely to hash robe for £150.
I fit bathrooms for a living. Best prices generally on showerdoctor (google it) better than my local merchant even at trade prices. Plus they are amazing for spares.
Assuming you're just on a gravity fed system you can still get something's decent for your budget but probably not a big brand - go for an exposed bar mixer (thermostatic). A pump will cost another £200 or more - plus fitting.
Hash robe - autocorrect for Hansgrohe !!
Pym - not sure about systems...it will run off the Worcester boiler.
If I need to buy a pump too I might just get a new electric shower.
Cheers
if it's off a combi you can't have a pump but you shouldn't need to either. If your boilers a system one with a tank you may want a pump.
I have a triton shower, very well made construction and all spares available (and really good customer services when I buggered up a seal) (no pervy comments please!!)
