Default Beware this item

Super cheap shower kit from Toolstation I thought would maybe last 6 months
while I delay refitting the bathroom:

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Taps.../sd2946/p76879

Dripping within a week or two and in four weeks spewing out water day and
night from the mixer unit.
Toolstation very unhelpful over credit/refund because I hadn't taken the
rail off the wall to bring back to them so I wasn't returning the whole
item.

Echo - I have just returned two of them, one the end flew out the other it
just popped out a bit and leaked.

I kept the pipework that had been set into the tiles but returned the rest
and got my refund.

Agreed, tacky bit of work - plastic body with chromed metal wrap-around to
make it look a bit like a real chromed brass-bodied mixer. Only fitted one
- AFAIK still working but wouldn't touch them again.
