Hand shower depth - too shallow?

[boxrick]

So I have some pipework for my rose / hand shower head on the wall which so someone installed and mounted what I believe may be too shallow since its going to get eaten up by tiles / tile adhesive.

 

Can you get extensions or am I going to need to remove a bit of board and mount it sticking further out?

You can get an extension and fit it with the liquid ptfe or the blue glue/ liquid stuff. 
 

personally i would fit it correctly out to 2mm shallower than the face of the tile. 
 

depends on your ability to sleep after it’s left like that.

Thanks that makes sense. I'll have a think on it
