I am hoping that someone is in a position to assist please.

My shower, installed 2001, has come to the end of its life, been taken
out and dumped and I am trying to find a direct replacement that can be
installed with the minimum of disruption.

I have two challenges:-
1) the recommended replacement shower, and Aquilisa Aquastream Thermo
which I have purchased is not 240v and is Low voltage. To install this
would mean destroying bathroom tiling and finding a suitable fixing
point for the transformer in the wall void then redecorating.
2) the Hot and cold feed are transversed in the old installation
compared to the replacement which again necessitated stripping plumbing
back and rebuilding with major decorative consequences.

Has anyone come across this problem before and found a like for like
replacement without major works?

Have you seen this? https://new-team-showers.co.uk/ I assume it's up
to date. It says:

"New Team Electric Showers

The New Team electric showers have recently been updated and replaced
by the fantastic newly designed Joy collection of electric showers,
delivering a stunning contemporary design in a choice of white or
black with a contemporary chrome riser rail set.

These Joy showers are a direct replacement for the old Newteam models
with the plumbing inlets and electric connections in exactly the same
place. There is a slight difference in the dimensions of the unit wih
the new Joy models being very slightly smaller by 3mm in width and
10mm in height.

Simply select your desired electric shower above to see these new
models, choose from our 8.5Kw, 9.5kW or 10.5Kw models."

I think those are electrically heated shower units, not €śpower showers€ť. I
think the OP is pumping water from a HW tank. Stupidly confusing
terminology.
