I'm in the process of putting a shower in my daughters room. The plan was to get a mixer tap, and plumb that directly in to the hot/cold feed from the combi boiler.
The plan has gone awry, as the one I ordered via ebay turns out to be a crooked seller, and there doesnt appear to be any decent quality showers around now at less than £100.
Now, today, I have acquired a 8.5kw electric shower from a cancelled order. I could keep it as stock in case I ever get asked for one, but it could be sat here for months (like the garden gate I bought, and has say in my garage for the last 8 months).
So, do I hold out, and get a decent mixer tap, or fit the electric one?
The electric one will be a doddle to fit, as the wire from the consumer unit is already there, we used to have an electric shower in the bathroom, which has since been removed but all the cabling is in place - it'll just mean moving the switch from one side of a wall to the other, then putting a new wire from the switch to the shower. Other plus points are that if the combi ever breaks down, we will always be able to have a hot shower, and I have the electric shower now,already paid for.
Persaude me which one to go for. Thanks Alan.
