    Minilite quite tiny...some would find using shower valve a bit tricky eg. arthritics. Also has 110 mm pipe centers and could require optional extended elbows pack for existing pipework between 133-153mm. Prefer looks of Element, easier to retrofit and it also has 4 spray shower head. Until 30 April 2013 the Minilite had a 3 year warranty (now 5).

    We got this one http://www.qssupplies.co.uk/bathroom-furniture-shower-taps/76344.htm but managed to buy it much cheaper from a local plumbers merchants. Again ours is on a thin stud wall behind which is a pocket door so not much room to play with at all! It was a bit more expensive than we might have paid since it was the square shape we wanted.
