Hi John Oh wish it was a 'wind up' but no, anyway taken all the advice and yours and someone is coming to see me tomorrow. Contacted the installer but as yet no response. First time for me to meet a cowboy.

Thanks sooey I didn't particularly like him and don't want to see him again. Think he could refund some money. Got a tiler due to fully tile but now on hold. He told me he has been doing showers for 30 years. As I've been unwell I should have maybe waited. If I got the go ahead to conceal...

Because it is an Housing association landlord and they won't help in this way. I'm on an over 50's complex.

Well, calling the tiler to postpone although new tiles on the way! I am redecorating the new place and wanted to start with the bathroom as I cannot use a bath. Due to movement problems, so the bathroom first port of call to refurbish. I was looking at a Mira mixer shower but he said the...

Could the pipes be removed and start again? Could get a new bath panel as I was going to anyway. Thankfully the shower works great but the look and his methods. Who are the best people to report this to? Thanks again for replies. Back to top Or cut my losses and get...

LOL like that :) Hate getting done, can only think of trading standards to report it!

Kitty, that is just genius. He should be reported to the cowboy trust and struck off. If you can follow the advice above and go for thermostatic bath/shower mixer tap and ask for your money back. Good luck Thanks Mark It has upset me, the man who fitted it said it couldn't be concealed due...

Just read more on the link you gave me and ''got it'' silly me Thanks for your input

The link you did would them taps have temperature set on them? Then yes they should have been fitted, feel really fleeced! My last bathroom in my last place had a walk-in-shower and was all done but due to ill health had to move. It has really got to me.

There are the pipes going in side of bath. Grrrr

I didn't want to be messing fiddling with taps and thought the thermostatic would be perfect! Plus I've paid a bit for it now without more expense. I'll get chrome piping so will look more blended in. My bathroom is next to my neighbours hall and wouldn't be allowed by my landlord to start...

Hi Dean what does tanked mean? Sorry I'm a real novice :(

Thanks everyone for getting back, I can't have it concealed due to my layout. He took the bath panel off I'm sure, I'll do another photo of the side. The shower works fine (thankfully) I'm having it all tiled and it was one of the tilers who said it was a novel way doing it! I was going...

Having moved into my new flat I wasn't happy to find a bath only. Anyway, decided I would like a shower to run off my combi boiler. The fella came and as it's not an option to have a 'concealed shower due to layout of my flat. So he installed a mixed shower, thermostatic control and...
