Shower suggestions

[K77 CTR]

I'm in the process of trying to redo my bathroom. At the moment I have a thermostatic mixer shower but it just doesn't have enough power. I'm looking for a nice looking shower to replace it with, probably another mixer shower with a pump somewhere under the bath. I have a gravity fed system and don't really want to go down the ugly power shower route.

Any suggestions on good showers? This is being done on a budget, so please keep that in mind!

I'm in the process of revamping my shower, new tray, mixer, shower door and side panel. The old mixer was an enclosed New Team mixer (brass bodied), which has been in for 20 years. Went for an Aqualisa 609 and was very dissapointed with the quality. Over £300 for a bit of plastic and chrome. Anyway this won't be going in as its too deept for the stud partition. Instead I have ordered a Grohe Thermostatic bar mixer. I always see them in hotels and gyms so hopefully the quality should be better.

I couldn't give you a make, but you can get some shower heads that boost pressure by a LOT, without changing anything else. The one i've got looks like a star fish. Sort of. It was bought to replace the previous shower head and the pressure change was huge.

Recently installed an Aqualisa "Visage" pumped shower thing into an existing bathroom. It has a pump unit that goes in the loft and then a pipe just comes straight down the wall out the ceiling which carries the water and the electrics (for the on/off switch). Very good solution for putting a shower over an existing bath without disturbing all the tiling or having to run pipework up/down the wall. The unit cost about 300 quid & then I had a plumber fit it (as part of a load of other work that was being done).
