Sourcing the correct shower valve!

6 years ago

I am looking for a thermostatic concealed shower vale. I have a handheld shower head, an overhead drench shower which also has as built in waterfall facility. So in essence I need 3 control, as well as on/off and temperature control.... struggling to find or not even sure if I'm looking at the right things.... oh & would prefer square controls....

I'd ask a plumbing company.

Crosswater do a range of square thermostatic valves. You'd have to speak to a plumber to decide on the correct one, but there's plenty to choose from.

Update -- my plumber finally returned. Not sure what he did while here, but he told me again it wasn't working -- then he did some work on a radiator which had a small leak. We were having a long discussion about options on pumps, new showers, taps etc and I read out the installation guide and he tried it again, and suddenly it worked. It is bizarre as I don't know how many times i tried it previously. My friend who works in construction ALSO called earlier today and tried it several times to no avail. It must have been extremely stiff or perhaps the plumber realised some airlock whilst fixing the radiator since I think water pressure is much stronger since he went. Thanks for everyones help -- i learned lots on plumbing and a valuable lesson to take out the installation manuals myself and not trust that trades men know everything!!! I feel like celebrating!!

Thanks for all your input and the wonderful diagram! I agree that ideally the bath and loo would be swapped. I need to talk to the plumber about how feasible / expensive that would be if it is prohibitively expensive / difficult I think I'll stick with my idea. I've not come up with any good reason not to have the shower in the centre of the bath rather than the end and I hope this might actually give a bit more room when in the shower rather than being squashed up at one end

Is this electric shower unit in an unsafe position?

If it turns out that it has been fixed incorrectly, then the plumber / builder need to foot the bill. Did you explain that you were having that type of unit? It's quite normal to have shower mixer valves at that height, but not the stand alone electric ones, maybe he thought that's what you were having???Also just a thought, that if this as this is a new installation there may now be building regs that dictate what height they can be. The allowed heights of electric sockets and light switches have all been changed after all.

Which bathroom layout....
Q

This one bothered me........a lot...........kept me awake in fact.......terrible insomnia. Thus when I gave up and got up at 5am, I drew up this one.........to scale. The third bedroom for me is the issue. If you're going to the trouble of removing a bathroom and resiting it, then make the most of every available inch and make it worth it. The little bedroom as is, just re-using the bathroom, will not work for long. It's just too small. Once you've put a bed in there eventually, there's no room for anything else. Plus, you don't have to do it like that.......so, amend it. A flat with 3 good sized rooms is worth more and more importantly will last you a lot longer, saving costs on having to move.Basically with regards bedroom 3, I put two doors in the middle wall that's causing the problem for everyone. I pushed back the left hand wall to include the space under the stairs, giving the room a built in wardrobe. I put a square top right to give access to the Hallway for that bedroom and bedroom 2, since we didn't want bed 2 opening in to the lounge. Bedroom 3 then has plenty of room for a cot, a chest of drawers and a nursiing chair. Plus, when you want to move to a bed, it still has room for everything. The En-suite is sufficient and the family bathroom quite large, large enough for shower and bath to help future use.
