Which will work better a Thermostatic Mixer or an electric shower considering my cold water feed and existing pipe layout, I dont want to change any pipework and would prefer a thermo mixer......

Cold feed to house...............then....

Branches off to downstairs Sink and to downstairs utility room / Washing machine.
Then upstairs to Toilet, then Basin, then Bath then finally to upstairs Combi Boiler.

Hot feed then runs from Combi to Bath, to basin, to Downstairs sink then finally ends at utility room / washing machine.

Have removed existing electric shower and have a cold and hot pipe already fitted to use for either mixer or electric shower which feeds out between the Bath and basin pipework.

Can anyone help? and any advice on selecting a good thermo mixer for about £150.......
 
Thermo mixers are great until your combi breaks down then you could end up being a bit on the smelly side for a while especially if its over christmas when it happens.

As for selecting a mixer shower just make sure that it is suitable for a combi and that your combi is indeed suitable for the shower
