    Swapping electric shower to mixer shower

    Hi guys, I just moved into a new place and the en-suite electric shower is damaged and not working. it will be safely disconnected from the fuse board to avoid any surprises. I would like to install mixer shower to get more powerful shower experience compared to slow water flow from electric showers. I have a basin with hot and cold supply 2 meters away from the water inlet for the electric shower. Central heating is by combi boiler. As the cold water supply is already available by the electric shower point, would it be ok to pick up the hot water supply from the basin hot water supply? or what electric shower would you recommend so the hot water water flow could be as close to mixer shower as possible? Thank you.
