Just removed these today from a bathroom & replaced them with standard seperate taps.

Chrome type with + shaped taps, mixer lever for shower etc. Complete with chrome shower hose & chrome / white enamel shower head.

Unfortunately not compatible with my combi boiler / eleccy shower combo; builder fitted them in error. Damn shame because they look real nice.

They are horizontal wall-outlet type but come with right-angle adapter spouts that let the whole thing attach vertically to a bath edge.

Never been used in anger, not a spot of limescale etc, basically as new condition.

Rubber washer is missing from the shower attachment, new one from a builders merchant probably costs next to nothing.

No idea what these retail at off-the-shelf but they're not cheap. Having said that, they will only sit in my shed for the next ten years gathering dust so if someone can make good use of them.. no reasonable offer refused.

Quick trawl of argos / google / ebay suggests a retail price of around £40-50. I'll take £20.

I'd happily come round & fit them Mole but I don't have the expertise to ensure they'd be safe.

If you get the water supply arrangements wrong you can end up with a few nasties like a wildly fluctuating shower temperature, or cold water feeding back into the hot tank.

This is what was going on where they were originally fitted, one side was mains pressure, the other side was a hot water tank with only a metre or so of height above the shower head to give it any pressure. Some of the cold water came out the shower, but some of it forced it's way back into the hot tank, and then back into the header tank, and then out the side of the house via the overflow!

I think they need either..

cold water direct from the mains & hot water from a direct heater like a combi boiler

or

cold water from an attic storage tank & hot water from a hot water cylinder, fed from an attic storage tank

..but not a mixture between the two scenarios.

Could do with a plumber on the forum to tell us for sure..
