  • Replace Electric Power Shower with Immersion

    We are looking at an apartment that has one bathtub run on immersion heat and the other on electric power shower. We would like to only have immersion in use, and want to know, if there is already an immersion installed in the flat, with hot water already running to the tap in the bathroom in question, how much would it cost to replace the electric power shower with a line to the hot water immersion?

    Rain Shower Head

    Hi, I recently look at changing the head of our ceiling mounted shower head and found that the pipe is 1.5" instead of the BSP1/2 (looking at google). Is there a reason why the pipe would be that wide? Or should I look at getting a plumber back to change it to the standard?
