...but first I need to buy one :D

This is a bit of a wild shot but can anyone recommend a low-pressure mixer shower (that means it uses hot and cold water and we have a cylinder) that would match the style of these taps? I would prefer summat simple, solid and reliable.

Aquavalve 700 - Exposed Brass Bodied Thermostatic Shower Mixer Valve

I would recommend fitting a pump to your tank though. Adds about 100 quid but the performance advantage is considerable. Get a 2bar max as 4 bar just drains the hot water in seconds.

Mmmm... that's the kind of thing. I had been looking at ones with two separate controls but that looks nice. I note what you said about the pump too. We'll have about 2m head so I hadn't been considering one before.

This any good? from B&Q

Sorry swoop, that's a combined bath filler and shower. I just need a shower valve and head. Thanks for the suggestion though - I was suprised to get even one reply :D
