Cheap surface mount shower mixer

[festive]

Looking for a cheap surface mount shower mixer so i can just run the pipes down from ceiling to mixer instead of concealed. Im struggling it seems most if not all are now for concealed pipes. I can pickup a concealed kit

cheapest ive seen is this

You can pick up a whole concealed mixer/shower for this, also not sure if this actually relies on the concealed fixtures to stop it flapping about, pointers appreciated!

Think I might soon have this problem! Would external valve fixings help?

I bought some cheap stuff from Better Bathrooms, it’s a load of ****e.

How much is a Bristan or similar?

Thanks for posting Simon, yes i looked at those Triton ones, then worried the whole mixer bar would stick out away from the wall more. Or i just chip the two center tiles out and fit a concealed i found on gumtree for 80 quid which is mixer+shower brand new.

I did find this unit for anyone else interested.
