Bath Shower Mixers FAQs

Can I install a bath shower mixer in my existing bathroom?

Bath shower mixers are designed to be versatile and can usually be installed in existing bathrooms without any major issues. They are compatible with most standard baths and plumbing systems. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a professional plumber to ensure proper installation and to address any specific considerations unique to your bathroom setup. They can assess your existing plumbing and provide guidance on the best installation approach.

How do I switch between the bath and shower functions?

To switch between the bath and shower functions, you can typically use a lever or knob. Most bath shower mixers have a diverter mechanism that allows you to control the flow of water. By turning the lever or knob, you can choose whether the water flows from the bath faucet or the showerhead. It's usually a simple and straightforward process, making it easy to switch between the two functions whenever you desire.

Are bath shower mixers compatible with all types of baths?

Whether you have a standard acrylic or steel bath, a freestanding bath, or even a corner bath, there are bath shower mixers available that can be installed and used with them. However, it's always a good idea to check the specific compatibility of the one you are considering with the type of bath you have, as some models may have specific requirements or limitations.

What is the difference between a thermostatic and manual bath shower mixer?

A thermostatic and a manual bath shower mixer differ in how they control the water temperature.

Manual bath shower mixer allows you to manually adjust the water temperature by turning the handle or knob. You have to find the right balance between hot and cold water to achieve your desired temperature.

On the other hand, a thermostatic bath shower mixer has a built-in thermostat that automatically maintains a constant water temperature. Once you set your desired temperature, the thermostatic mixer will keep the water at that temperature, even if there are fluctuations in the hot or cold water supply. This feature provides a more consistent and comfortable showering experience, especially if there are other water sources being used in your home.

Both types have their advantages, so it's a matter of personal preference and specific needs when choosing between a thermostatic and manual bath shower mixer.

Can I adjust the water temperature and pressure with a bath shower mixer?

With a bath shower mixer, you can typically adjust both the water temperature and pressure to your liking. By turning the handle or knob, you can control the temperature by finding the right balance between hot and cold water. Additionally, some have separate controls for adjusting the water pressure, allowing you to customise your shower experience. So, you have the flexibility to create the perfect combination of temperature and pressure that suits your preferences.

Are there different styles and finishes available to match my bathroom decor?

Do I need a professional plumber to install a bath shower mixer?
