Rain shower with a drilling hole

Hey,

the standard shower fitting was installed for me. Unfortunately, on the one hand, it is, in my opinion, too close to the edge of the shower enclosure, and on the other hand, there is only one showerhead that is also difficult to adjust in the holder. I would like to replace this with a rain shower. Drilling has already been done, and of course, I want to reuse the existing drill holes. I think the current shower bar is attached per holder (2x) with one drill hole each. Is that normal?

Do you know rain showers that are also attached with only one drill hole each, or are the holes 90 cm apart? It would have to be flexible in height. It would also be great if the curved outlet at the top can be swiveled. Otherwise, you just have to slightly twist the bar.

Thanks!

Redo the two tiles and choose a shower that requires only one hole at the top. Then connect it to the mixer tap below. From Schulte, Grohe, or whoever.

Since my mixer tap has the connection at the bottom, does the set have to come with a new mixer tap?

Which connection do you mean? The connections also come out of the wall for you. Only the hose is attached from below.

If I were to replace the shower head, I would replace the single-lever mixer with a thermostatic mixer (as in the second photo). To me, that belongs to an upscale bathroom. Set the temperature once and that's it.

Your current mixer tap has no place there anymore as long as you want to fix it with only one hole as described in the opening post.
