Friends,
A person has a house with loft conversion. The loft con bathroom has a twin pump that feeds the bath, all works fine, no issues. Electric all in etc.
On the 1st floor is another bathroom with shower cubicle, all tiles floor and walls.
The customer wants an exposed mixer shower in the cubicle as the electric one is kaput.
The pressure on the 1st flooor is not good enough to feed a shower mixer.
Can I take the pipework from the loft con bathroom after the pump and branch it under floor, about 8ft, and go through ceiling to 1st floor bath to feed new shower? If someone is running bath in loft con and someone having shower in 1st floor shower will pressure be OK for both?
Also, need to take floors up, fit 22mm pipe (H&C) under floor, connect to H&C after pump, fit external mixer shower unit in 1st floorbath with exposed chrome 15mm pipe etc. put floors back and clean. No electrics as pump already installed and working.
For labour only, any approximates? I reckon it's at least a day to get everything done (my day is 8 hrs) maybe 2 people needed also.
Thanks all
Best regards
