Replacing an electric shower with a thermostatic mixer

Hi Katy, Electric showers only have a cold water feed to them, so first of all it would be required to run a hot pipe to the area of the shower. this could be taken off the hot pipework for the basin or bath (if you have one) in the bathroom. if there is a bath already in situ you could get a shower that's as one with the bath taps and not need to modify the wall. if you want a concealed mixer that's wall mounted then the pipework would have to be ran behind the wall. can I ask if this is a second shower in the property, for example an en suite shower?

Hi Katy, That would be fine, you can run one system shower of the combi boiler. Electric showers have a cold feed, your new shower would need hot and cold but would be in a different position to the cold feed you have at the moment for your Electric shower. The Hot could be taken off the bath feed and chased in the wall so you would need making good and tiling doing too. Hope this helps.

hi katy what i would do is check what the wall if it is a stud wall you could get the hot feed from the other side of the wall so you don't have to take the tiles of and retile it will be a lot faster and cheaper to do it that way if the taps are on the same side as the shower i hope this is a help good luck i hope you get it sorted regards dave
