  • Bath shower mixer tap vs rear fed shower on the wall

    Are deck mounted bath shower taps as good as the shower you would fit on a wall (not electric, normal taps) Good water pressure, new build, so no issues with water normally. I'm looking at thermostatic shower taps, but cannot decide of paying extra for a wall shower is worth the hassle, or would I get as good a shower if we simply get the tap replaced by a mixer tap. Looking at Mira Atom or Aqualisa Midas deck mounted taps. Vs Mira atom wall shower, or Bristan thermostatic shower. Thank you in advance!

    Can water supply pipe from mains run partially above ground?

    Hi, We have an external water leak. A contractor has been today and one option given is replacing the pipe altogether rather than trying to trace the leak and repair. This I am happy with. However they have suggested putting the supply pipe under the driveway from the meter on the pavement, then bringing it up in the garage (so it will be above ground in the garage), running it the length of the garage and then connecting it to an existing water pipe that we have in the garage for the washing machine. They would then install a new stopcock, and block off our existing one. Reason for this option is to save having to take up the floor in the house. Does this sound right?

    Cost/difficulty of fitting a shower screen

    I want to replace my shower curtain with a more attractive shower screen. How difficult are they to install and is this something I could do myself or should I get someone in to do it? If I do get someone in, what sort of cost am I looking at (both for the screen and labour costs)? Thanks.
