Hello

we are planning a bathroom renovation and I'm looking for some assistance with showers. We are based in the UK.

we will be getting a shower over bath and the bath will be situated flat against the far wall of the room, so against 2 external walls and 1 internal wall. However only one of those external walls, at the typical tap end of the bath, can be used to fix a shower due to the location of a large window.

We have a Combi Boiler but our flow rate isn't amazing; about 8.5 litres per min from the bath tap, and circa 7 litres per min from the shower head both at shower temperature. We currently have a bath/shower mixer.

We would like to get the best possible shower experience we can within our flow rate limitations.

We're not fussed about a thermostatic shower because only adults live in the house.

From my research this seems to lead back to another bath/shower mixer. However if anyone has any alternative ideas then please let me know.

in terms of brand we're thinking Grohe / Hansgrohe etc. Something good quality which will last.

Does anyone have any specific shower recommendations based upon our parameters or any other brands to recommend so that we can narrow our focus?

We will also be having a glass bath screen and I'm thinking maybe Matki- although we're open to other suggestions. We want something which is good quality and easy to clean (i.e. not too many nooks and crannies to get dirty!).

Because we're having a bath screen and due to the location of the vanity unit (i.e. relatively close to the edge of the bath) I'm concerned about the ease of reaching taps to turn on the shower to get the water to shower temperature before stepping in. Is there any way we can get a shower with the controls easily accessible? if this is something we want to investigate would our only option be a digital shower or are there other plumbing solutions?

Thank you all in advance for your advice and recommendations.
