Yes they did, finished it yesterday, seemed ok, it was only when we showered this morning that we noticed the problem.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I recently fitted a new shower with a thermostatic mixer bar, where the hot water came from a combi boiler.  It was fine at first but gradually the water got cooler and cooler. 

Cut a long story short, the thermostat in the mixer was faulty and a new one sorted the problem.    The temperature knob was very stiff and once the new thermostat was fitted it moved a lot easier.

It's probably a few decades since AA last saw a stiff knob

The thermostatic showers we put in hospitals are limited to 37degC.

The chances are that any quality thermostatic shower will leave the factory limited to the same temperature. 37 degrees was chosen so as not to cause any harm even after prolonged exposure.

If you want to step out of the shower looking like a lobster you will have to increase the temperature by moving the temperature stop.

Anti gravity loop fitted, thermostatic valve adjusted = HOT SHOWERS

Excellent, these shower pump design engineers are clever people with good instructions

One day maybe they'll invent a plumber who is both able and can be bothered to read them.

.. Unlike like the one who fitted my parents' cast stone shower tray with a flimsy bit of chipboard underneath, despite the big sticker on the wrapping stating that it needs a minimum 18mm marine ply with a layer of mortar on top.   I doubt he got the replacement under warranty when the inevitable happened and he was back to do the job properly.
