Available in a range of gorgeous finishes, the Elizabeth showers are the perfect blend of traditional design and modern showering functionality, bringing a classic feel to your bathroom, whilst offering a sensational shower experience. 

With such a huge selection of Elizabeth showers, we understand that it’s not an easy task choosing the right one that enhances both your bathroom design and meets your showering requirements.

So, to help you out, we have created this ultimate buying guide that will hopefully point you in the right direction.

Milano Elizabeth Showers – Exquisite Traditional Details & Opulent Finishes

The majestic Elizabeth shower range certainly makes a statement, yet brings opulence and timeless appeal to your bathroom, allowing you to create a look that will never fall out of fashion. 

The Elizabeth shower heads and shower valves feature exquisite traditional details, which really will set your bathroom apart from the rest. After all, it’s the small details that make all the difference.

The range of opulent finishes will also make your bathroom stand out from the crowd, whether you want to keep things classy with chrome or add some vintage chic with gold or bronze, we’ve made it easy to create the look you truly desire.

Exquisite Oil-Rubbed Bronze Finishes

The Milano Elizabeth brushed gold and oil rubbed bronze showers are hand-finished – this means that the colour and tone slightly differs between products of the same finish, creating a bathroom that’s unique and authentic. 

The gold and bronze finish is moisture-blemish resistant too, meaning less of those annoying water spots.

The oil rubbed bronze and brushed gold showers have what’s known as a living finish that naturally patinas over time, which creates a vintage appearance. 

As the surface reacts with the environment and daily use, the showers begin to develop their own unique patina that transforms and ages with time. The changes you’ll see are what give the products real character.

Enjoy a Relaxing Shower Experience with a Milano Elizabeth Shower Head

The simply stunning Milano Elizabeth traditional shower heads come in a choice of sizes and finishes, including chrome, brushed gold and oil rubbed bronze, to further elevate the look of your bathroom. 

Each one delivers luxurious rainfall water coverage, giving you the most calming and soothing shower experience. 

The Elizabeth shower head features an apron style design for that perfect traditional look and that’s sure to create an eye-catching focal point within your bathroom.

The Elizabeth shower heads have been crafted to the highest standards from solid brass for guaranteed durability with an exceptionally hard-wearing finish. 

Each shower head has a swivel joint that allows you to easily adjust it to the desired angle and can be fitted with the matching wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted arm, which again has a solid brass construction.

In addition to the apron shower heads, there’s also the Milano Elizabeth hand shower, which is available to purchase separately or as part of a shower riser rail kit, complete with matching hose and outlet elbow. 

The hand shower has been crafted from brass with a ceramic handle and delivers a refreshing spray of water. This also comes in chrome, brushed gold and oil rubbed bronze finishes.

The exquisitely crafted Milano Elizabeth thermostatic shower valves give you precise temperature control for your perfect shower experience. 

Just like the traditional shower heads, the shower valves come in brushed gold, oil rubbed bronze and chrome finishes, making it easy for you to create a coordinated look. 

The chrome shower valves are available with white or black ceramic detailing, giving you an extra option.

Will Baths Or Showers Enhance The Value Of A Property?

As another notch on the Big Bathroom Shop baths vs showers belt, we’ve dived deeper still into the debate, conducting our own research to determine whether a bath or a shower adds more value to a home.

With the notion already discussed in our Bath Or Shower blog, we’ve now gauged the British public’s opinion on the matter, finding out what percentage of people asked view a bathtub as an essential home fixture and the answers to other key questions.

Can the value of a property really be enhanced or downgraded based upon the presence of a simple bath, or lack thereof?

Read on to see our findings, and what they indicate with regards to baths and showers influencing the cost and saleability of a home.

Do Most People Prefer Baths Or Showers?

A simple enough way to begin our research was to ascertain whether most people actually preferred baths or showers on the whole. Of course, the 8.2% of people asked who said they never take a bath are highly unlikely to view the lack of a bathtub as a ‘deal breaker’ or see it as having any sort of detrimental effect on the value of a property.

However, a much larger proportion of those surveyed were partial to a relaxing soak. Although 56.1% stated that they preferred taking showers over baths, a decent 37.8% were of the opposite persuasion.

That said, whilst a freestanding bathtub focal point might not be a bathroom priority for that near 40 per cent range, you could expect something like a shower bath to be a desirable property feature to say the least.

Certainly so, the space to accommodate a bathtub of some sort even if one isn’t already fitted would appear to be a key factor to a significant portion based on our research.

Can Lifestyle Factors Influence A Bath Or Shower Choice?

Even on a basic level, it’s simple to see that people will opt to take a bath or shower for different purposes, and the decision could alter from day to day if they have comfortable access to both vices.

Our research backs up the notion entirely though, and spells bad news for those who could potentially be looking to sell on a property in which a bathtub isn’t present.

A big 68.9% of people surveyed explained that a bath helps them to relax, with a majority 56.9% explaining they enjoy hot baths. Furthermore, almost a third of the people asked (28.9%) said they choose to take a bath when feeling stressed, whilst 31.2% cited ‘alone time’ as their reasoning for hopping in the tub.

With data to back up the general idea that baths are a perfect means for unwinding and de-stressing, it’s reasonable to suggest they’ll be viewed as a vital fixture for many following a busy day-to-day working schedule.

Indeed, 34.3% of 25-34 year-olds admitted to taking a bath when feeling stressed, the largest proportion of any of the age ranged inquisitees. The same bracket were the second most responsive (5.8%) when asked if they’d ever taken a bath on their lunch break too, beaten only by the 18-24 clan (7.8%). Kids, eh?

re Showers Seen As Essential?

Whilst we’ve loaded up on the bath talk so far, one of the main reasons for doing so is because the far more diminutive stylings of shower systems makes them a practical inclusion for pretty much any home.

And for all the evidence we’ve presented to show how crucial many people see baths, it would appear that showers still have the edge when it comes right down to it, in accordance with our samplings anyway.

A majority 56.1% registered a preference for taking a shower as opposed to a bath, whilst 25.2% said they would never live somewhere that didn’t have a shower. By comparison, 19.2% echoed the same sentiments as it pertained to bathtubs.

So, although the difference might not be massive, our research does suggest that showers are a priority inclusion in comparison with baths. Perhaps most telling though, is the results that suggest people want the best of both worlds.

Almost half of all those surveyed (44.9%) were in agreement with the statement that “when looking at a new property, a separate bath and shower is important to me”. Centrepiece freestanding tubs still are prospectively popular then, as well as modern showers.

Only 28.6% outlined a preference for traditional bathroom styles when searching for a new home, while 40.9% were in favour of contemporary bathrooms.

re Baths Or Showers A More Valuable Fixture For A Property?

In essence, the value of a property can be some way determined by how desirable it is to own, to how many people.

And given the fact that showers would tend to be a standard fitting in more or less any home, and that a decent amount of people would not entertain the purchase of a property if it didn’t feature a bathtub, baths probably hold the edge as the more valuable asset.

However, the popular conception that people really want both components has been firmed up by our research, which suggests that as long as there is a bath somewhere in the home, the value of the property shouldn’t be affected.

As aforementioned, shower baths provide a valuable combination option if space is at a premium within the master bathroom of the home. And in instances where a bath isn’t fitted, it could even be worth sourcing a relatively cheap option for installation before the property is placed on the market. An initial outlay of a few hundred pounds could see an added valuation of a couple of thousand tacked on to the price just via the presence of a bath.
