Electric showers - spawn of the devil

What would you suggest then? I have been able to find very few mixer
showers that can accomodate exposed pipework down the wall (the shower
has to go on a working chimney breast so recessing the pipes probably
won't be a good idea). Most common mixer units now seem to have fallen
into the 'recessed flat and fashionable' status.

My gut reaction to this is "False". So I'll look in the s/fix catalogue
(say) for starters....

Yep. As I thought there's a stack to choose from. Many models being
available to fit in either style.
