Good evening all !

I have a customer who is on a very tight budget and wants to replace a very, very old shower mixer valve. It is fed with surface mounted 15mm hot and cold pipes. The customer does not want to remove the tiles and wants me to find a replacement that will work with the same pipes.

I have trawled all the usual sites and cannot find a shower mixer that allows this - they all seem to require concealed pipes.

I know that the probable answer is that the tiles will have to come off, but does anyone know of a suitable product ?

Many thanks

Chris R
