Bristan tap and shower

[SallyP]

I have just had a new boiler, Vaillant, fitted and a shower which runs from the boiler (Bristan) fitted. I would like to extend the shower head further into the bath but cannot find a fitting to do this, can anyone assist with where I may buy one please

have you a picture of what you have now?

I can then further understand your question

Sorry Tom, I dont, they took all the packaging away with them this is what the tap looks like
Bristan Artisan Thermostatic Bath Shower Mixer Tap Chrome
then obviously the riser goes up the wall and where the shower head sits in its holster I would like to extend that out by about 3 inches and wondered if there was a fitting I could buy to do this.

Its possible that this riser is made from 15mm pipe work in which case it would be simple

Can think that there would not be a way round it though

I think the only thing you can do is to have a flexible shower hose attached to the tap and then have a suitably placed hook up on the wall (perhaps on a piece of wood?) Your restriction is the distance the tap is away from the wall as the riser will have to be this same distance (give or take a millimetre or two).

Shower hooks on walls are fairly easily obtainable.

I was thinking this sort of thing but modded to fit your product

Must admit I've not seen anything like that before!!

seen them in a couple of houses

often where the bath shower mixer has a top outlet

does look too bad to be honest
