Shower advice

Guys i have a roll top bath and it has mixer taps the same as this one in the picture. I dont have the long chrome pipe that the main high shower head is on, i only have the flexi hose with the hand held shower handle/head.

I want one of these upright pipes with the shower head attached.

But..........What the hell are they called so i can look online for them.

Any ideas?

Fixed rail, riser? Can be purchased separately at any good plumbing suppliers

That sort of shower head is refered to as a deluge head. This may help your search.

oh, and the fact that the pipework isn't hidden, it is refered to as 'exposed'

So looks like you are after a exposed deluge head for a bath/shower mixer.

The only problem with showers in free standing roll-top baths is how you keep the water off the floor.

Its difficult to get a shower curtain to go all the way around (the one in the photo would flood the bathroom for example) and even if you can you can get the effect where the shower curtain sticks to you.

The look is good though
