Non thermostatic shower/bath mixer help

Tani H-S
2 years ago

Morning all!
We had a beautiful brushed gold shower fitted - exposed with a bath filler tap on it.
Didn't realise at the time that it wasn't thermostatic and now need to change it so it doesn't scald anyone 😞
I can't find the same type of thing in brushed gold and have seen some black ones which will kind of ruin the look but it's a last resort.
So I'm asking if anyone has any clever ideas plumbing wise for making it work (we can add a thermostatic control in the back pipework but that means the bath won't even be hot enough as it will be set to 38degrees) would a wireless one work?
or knows of a thermostatic one
Thank you

    Are you looking to simply replace what you have, or are you happy to consider fittings that sit within the wall (and then re-tile). Lusso Stone have some nice fittings and they do a set with a bath tap - but it’s not an exposed set up. https://www.lussostone.com/showers-c6/shower-sets-c24/luxe-brushed-gold-3-way-thermostatic-shower-with-handheld-shower-bath-spout-p1345

    Actually - just realised this one is an exposed valve with bath tap too. https://www.lussostone.com/showers-c6/shower-sets-c24/elegance-brushed-gold-exposed-thermostatic-3-way-shower-p2589

    Hi Sarah!

    Thanks for the links 😁

    It would have to be similar as I can't re-tile due to timescales and materials.

    I've actually seen the black version of that second lusso one last night on amazon but it was 1/3rd of the price. Makes me wonder if its copied or just made in China like all the others and lusso just sell it? 🤔 🙈

    Not find a gold version as yet so will put it on my list. I guess it will come down to cost in the end ie gold vs black as black are a lot cheaper.

    My shower is so pretty so I'm gutted 😩

    Yours definitely looks nicer!

    I’ve not used Lusso Stone myself - although very nearly did a couple of years ago. I really like their inset - sets (like the first one), but in the end I went for a less pretty Grohe set because of price and known reliability. To be fair though, I only ever saw good reviews of Lusso…. (Haven’t looked recently though!).
