Thermostatic shower kits

Stevie1

Does anyone know where I can buy a kit (thermostatic shower valve, slide rail, hose & shower head), for a reasonable price and from a reasonable make (i.e. not something made in China that will corrode after 6 months)? Can be online.

For example click here

Prices of recommended brands seem to be anywhere between £600 and £1600, for items that looks exactly the same and describe themselves as delivering the exact same results

Thanks ormus, but what I am after is the kit in which the whole business come as one. They are a lot more expensive, it seems, than the separate components (not suitable)

Anyone else?

I bought 2 triton ones from Homebase last year for £200 each, I used Homebase vouchers to pay for a bit of it as well as earning more points, bought them on 10% day, and at a time they were on offer at half price. I had shopped around for ages though and knew most of the deals going on at the time.. They are now £400..

I have bought them off Ebay and got really good deals too. One was the full monty but ex display, the other was very cheap but only for use in a guest room that wasn't going to be used often.

If you do look on Ebay make sure you buy one that is "Chrome plated brass" as "Chrome Plated" often means chrome plated plastic and the chrome comes off when it's knocked.
