Is it possible to install a new one with a different temperature range?

Screwfix have a few different types on their website but not the exact same as that one in the link


I have used the shower centre on the Malahide Road near fairview a good few times for jobs and have found them good to deal with. If they didn't have the part they would usually tell me somewhere that might have it.

do you really want to pump 20k into a jacks🧐. It’s just for washin n sh*tin 

Be hard to justify spending that much on a room that you're going to destroy on a Sunday after a feed of pints and a take away the night before.

I agree with this. The idea of a wet room won't work on upper floors and my guy hated the very word.

Our shower unit runs the length of the room and is raised about half an inch above the tiling. Not noticeable and actually provides a nice contrast by highlighting the expensive slate.

Wet rooms only make sense for people with mobility issues and want to remove trip hazards and struggle to get upstairs.

At the moment it's kinda of a wet room, in the kind that my son walks in there at night, phone in land, light off and just pisses where he wants.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Looking to kinda convert it into like a wet room, the bath will go, and we will need a walk in shower etc...

I did the bathroom when I moved in the last time with the old man - 15 years ago now. But this is beyond my pay grade.

Couple of coats of paint, new lighting, mirror, lino on the floor and a few little cabinets and shelving units. Kept the original sanitary ware and scrubbed it like new. All done for under €500.
