Which shower type

[Andy Velcro]

Hello

I'm about to tackle the resurrection of a 1970's bathroom and need some tips. The water pressure in my area is rubbish so I was wondering whether running a mixer shower off my combi would be better than the electric shower i'm using at present. Also how much space do you require behind an average concealed mixer valve, can you get away with chasing out the wall or does a false wall have to be built. When positioning a shower cubicle does the length of the waste run matter as long as there is some kind of drop to it. And finally what is the reccomended drop for the W.C waste pipe. Any advise would be good.

Thanks

Andy

i am not a plumber , but if by mixer shower you intend taking a feed one from hot and one fom cold bath pipes thats how ours was done, the pipes were flushed in the wall then tiled over.
