This is the bathroom in the flat which im hopefully getting. I dont want to change anything in there, as it is all brand new etc, and really nice......all-be-it small! Which is ok as im the only one there (g/f aint getting a key   ). The problem is, I only have showers, and there is a shower attached to the taps, like this (but more modern):


Does anyone have any ideas how to have a standing shower at the other end of the bath to the taps, without a lot of work?? And pics of solutions? I could fit an electric shower at the other end, but it would mean taking tiles off etc which I dont want really. OR, is there any way of having a standing shower at the tap end???

Sorry for the small pic, its the only one I have:


Cheers

sounds like you need an electric shower fitting.
they only require a cold water feed and an electric feed (presuming they can get the electrics to the bathroom easily enough)

an elekky shower could be mounted on the long wall by the bath and you could fit a curtain or screen around that end of the bath

lekky shower could be about £70 - £100 / plus fitting maybe another £100 - 150

try ringing a spark or asking deviance what a spark would charge for the supply and fit of a 8.5kw shower

the house i live in had an electric shower when we moved in and the electric cable and cold water feed were surface mounted up to the shower unit in white pvc trunking.

not the best solution but a lot less work and cost than channeling out for a cable etc.

it doesnt look that bad really when done that way

maybe worth thinking about

not the best solution

Thats putting it mildly imho!
Is there no way to run cables down behind the wall; is it a partition etc? If you have access to the loft area above you should be able to (though the sloping roof above suggests not).
If youve access to hot water storage of any decent size then a power shower is better than an electrical one, if you have a combi boiler then even better, youve unlimited hot water and all you need is a mixer shower.

Problem with mixers is that the water might end up cold if someone flushes their loo and the pressure drops. OTOH its not going to be such a problem with only you there.

Fitting a mixer is relatively easy and unlike an electric you dont end up foul of the new partp laws. You can replace an electric shower like for like but not put a new one in legally yourself without getting it checked and costing you almost as much as having it fitted. Its a right pain.

We used to get that problem when someone flushed the downstairs toilet, but we solved it by just getting a half flush thing.  Although it fills back up at the same rate it doesnt take so long and you dont notice the effect.

If the flat is on an upper floor get an electric shower. The 2nd floor (top floor) flat I was in had a mains flow driven shower. It was great when I first moved in but then the water company dropped the main pressure during the drought and the shower turned into a more of a controlled leak.

from what i can see, an electric shower on the back wall, with a double hinged glass screen would be easiest option. it also depends on what access there is above, loft space? another flat? probably not much looking at the pitched roof.

something like this


also, there is no problem with tunking cable down to the shower unit, it doesnt look as good as when its chased but is safe and compliant etc.
