Looking for bath shower mixer with cradle thats not Victorian style

[PingCrosby]

Hi

I am trying to purchase bath taps with an integrated mixer shower and a cradle as the area around the bath taps has no wall to hang the shower mixer. However all the ones with a cradle seem to be of the Victorian style. I am looking for something a bit more modern.

Does anyone know of any manufacturers / web sites i can look at - my search has so far led me nowhere - Googling "bath shower mixer with cradle" just brings up the same old Victorian style taps.

To re-iterate i don't want this style :-

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Sorry to be a pain but in my searches I stumbled across this image. The mixer is fitted into the bath itself. Does this style of fitting have a special name ; am looking for a keyword to search on.
Are there any obvious issues with fitting a mixer in this way; i have my suspicions but what do the professional plumbers think - is it a case of 'looks good but in practice its they are a nightmare'

It was from a pic on ebay

The shower you have posted has a large plastic container fixed under the bath that has to be connected to the drains, complete nightmare to retrofit.

That sort of pull-out spray is used in thousands of hair salons, but the problem is water ingress down the hole.

This cradle tap is a bit less faux Victoriana:

The pull-out ones are sold as 4 or 5 hole bath taps:

The cradle is the difficult bit - there are lots of modern bath mixer shower taps.

Thanks for the replies and advice

@picasso - the bathstore one looks like a reasonable compromise

@OwainDIer - thanks for the headsup on the naming i can search for 4 or 5 hole taps now should i decide to go this route
