Hi all; my wife has advised me that we are getting a new bathroom
suite! she would like one that has the taps in the wall rather than
on the bath itself. The shop told her that we cannot do this at
present as we only have a Gloworm Ultimate 50 boiler and an
immersion heater, and not a combi.
Couple of questions that I would like some help with please.

If you want bath taps on the wall at a height where you can reach
them whilst sitting in the bath I do not understand why you can not
use your existing boiler and immersion heater.

Me neither Michael - I'm just going on what the bathroom salesman
told me! Whether wall mounted mid bath taps need more pressure or
something I'm not sure.

After posting I thought that a high pressure tap would likely use a
smaller pipe that might make it easier to recess in the wall.

That could make sense, using a smaller bore to reduce channelling.

Another design option is to choose a bath with a horizontal elbow
high ledge which is wide enough to take a tap. The water can come
from a separate spout at the end of the batch with or without a
shower attachment.

One variety of 'shower bath' did indeed have enough room to take a set of
taps mounted along the length. My wife, of course, wanted then in the wall
:-). The standard fitting would be too simple.
Cheers
