Just renting a flat to find a very old Shower Mixer Valve needs replacing due to 'limescale damage', we have a budget off £500 by the landlord to sort out
The two copper pipes shown in picture are a Hot and Cold feed from the immersion heater with good pressure. The existing valve works but very slow, when I take the pipes off the valve its good pressure
I have looked at Electric Showers but would need to rewire and replace the fuse box as theres no electric feed to the bathroom so thats out
New bathroom suite was quoted with fitting £4k so thats out
* Could I just get a similar valve to the one in the picture to resolve?
* Power shower pump in airing cupboard with Titon Shower (not electrics to bathroom)
* Any other alternatives?
Thanks
