Shower mixer tap installation

Takes about 1 hr

A wall mixer lets you set the water temperature with one tap instead of juggling two. A verified plumber checks the spacing and level of your hot and cold points, fits the eccentric connectors so the mixer sits straight, mounts the mixer and connects the shower outlet. Both lines are then run to make sure hot and cold go to the right side.

The visit takes about an hour, at the fixed price shown on this page. Buy the mixer before the visit. If your points are uneven or one of them leaks, the needed part is quoted before fitting. Switch the geyser on beforehand so the hot line can be tested properly.

Questions about this service

My hot and cold come out on the wrong side. Can you fix that?

Yes. The plumber checks which point is which and sets the mixer so hot is on the marked side.

Do I need a concealed mixer instead?

A concealed mixer needs wall chasing, which is civil work. This service fits a wall-mounted mixer on your existing points.

Why switch the geyser on beforehand?

So the hot line can be tested at real temperature and any leak shows up during the visit.
