Bathroom and ensuite. The client wanted a powerful rainfall shower in each, running well.
The existing boiler and system simply couldn’t deliver the flow and pressure for that — especially with both running at once. You can fit the fittings, but they’ll dribble rather than perform.
Doing it properly meant upgrading the system — extra cost the client hadn’t planned for.
We explained there was no point fitting premium showers the system couldn’t supply. They’d spend the money and be let down every morning.
They didn’t want the added cost and felt it’d ‘probably be fine.’
We weren’t willing to fit showers we knew would underperform and then carry the blame.
Some will say we saved them from disappointment. Some will say it was their money, their call. What would you have done?
