Rainfall Shower Head

[Onoff]

This is roughly what we (she) wants:

 

 

To be fair it's a compromise. She wants the rise/fall hand spray thing and I want the ceiling mounted, overhead rainfall part having been spoilt in too many hotels and 1st class lounges etc years ago when the gravy train was running! 

 

There's plenty where the pipe comes up, on show and then feeds the rainfall head but I want it hidden in the wall and coming out of the ceiling.

 

Also want the head LED, colour changing etc.

 

Any pointers?

FFS HOW MUCH?  Serious suggestions also considered.

The majority seem to be cheap ass Chinese eBay junk. Sorry, but I couldn't think of anything worse........

Why not get a nice classy unit and then some stand alone lights placed accordingly ?

look at Megabad or Reutershop - even with the weak pound, still way cheaper than UK prices.

Try bossini, that's what I ve used, although I have nt opted for leds as that's where the price shoots up. I ve got a 470 x 470 ceiling recessed shower, with two functions (rainfall and waterfall), and a separate hand shower.

Nice.

Bossini, way, way out of my league price wise. I feel like the poor relation on here. If I had a pot to pi$$ in I might consider drilling holes in the lid and using that!

Just checked and I paid £675 ex vat for the two outlet shower recessed shower like this...

and £475 for another one with just rain outlet (no cascade)

I can get laser grade stainless no problem and have it water jet or laser cut too.

This is what I went for. Cheap and cheerful off eBay. Looks good enough me thinks. Whole lot set me back less than £150. 

Yes, I will get around to fitting the coving at SOME stage   

These things take time.

Went for the wall mounted arm as there's no attic above, just the small vaulted roof space. Does provide a handy hanger for me shower gel though

I have a waterfall shower and it's unreal. Only thing is it doesn't take long emptying my TS.  This is it here

Not guilty. 

[Onoff]

I wonder.....

 

Two st/st discs. Bottom one perforated with a hole matrix. Top one with a welded, stainless BSP boss.

 

Would it work to sandwich a rubber gasket between them or even a large st/st "polo" and silicon the mating faces? Then a few strategically placed button headed cap screws to keep it all together.....

You ever seen Artex? I can get there with a decent stick set but find MIG harder which is apparently the opposite to most people.

 

Seriously, I think distortion would be a big issue.

You can't actually be serious? 

Just buy one FFS, I'll give you the money

Damn right I'm serious.....

 

It's all about the journey not the destination!

 

Just trying to figure how/where to put the LEDs.
