Sorry if this is somewhat off-topic. I need to have my shower replaced;
someone's suggested Hudson Reed. I've had a peek about their site and
liked both the look and the price.

However I'm based in the States; this brand is not very common here nor
does it seem to be sold in shops. My plumber's never heard of it! (HR
do have a US version of the web-site which says everything sold
Stateside is certified etc)

So I reckoned I'd ask here as it seems to be a British company - are HR
highly regarded in the UK? Are they online only as well; do the
products last long, are spare parts avaliable?

Thanks for any advice
David
