July 10, 20179 yr The flip side of having the valve out of the enclosure is that you can't adjust it easily once your actually in the shower. Is there not a halfway house?- mount the valve on the wall facing the screen but within the wet zone. Careful positioning should mean users don't get blasted by cold when switching on, but can adjust without getting out the hot shower. Are you set on a concealed valve? This is after all a holiday let, so you want yo have the flexibility to easily repair or replace if it stops working and you have guests. An external bar valve at 150mm centres need not look cheap and nasty. If concealed valve is a must, what about a fixed shower head?
July 10, 20179 yr Thats the current job. Former is 1200 long and the Hans Grohe iBox is the circle so that's where I've talked them into having the valve. They wanted it further out but I argued the point .

July 10, 20179 yr Had a quote this afternoon for a Just Trays 1500x800 at £258 inc the waste. That's a 25mm thick one too.
