Onoff Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldwidewebs Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Nice! http://www.hansgrohe.co.uk/articledetail-axor-showercollection-showerheaven-970x970mm-with-lighting-10623800.html?fsid=0x00000033000074C9&pageid=e8715959-54d2-4025-9e39-5ebe29c5854b&q= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 FFS HOW MUCH? Serious suggestions also considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trw144 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) 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.

Onoff Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trw144 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Just checked and I paid £675 ex vat for the two outlet shower recessed shower like this... http://www.bossini.it/en/prodotti/shower-heads/h38925-dream-2-sprays and £475 for another one with just rain outlet (no cascade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan52 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I have a waterfall shower and it's unreal. Only thing is it doesn't take long emptying my TS.

Onoff Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 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.
