Shower head on block wall for tile bathrooom remodel, I need ideas

Literally just signed up here and this was the first thread I saw. Your comment is so ridiculously dumb I had to comment back. So then I looked at your other comments, and (no surprise here) you did it other places as well.

What was dumb about his comment? There are a lot of shower heads that come out of the ceiling these days

On Tapatalk it shows him banned. On my laptop it doesn't?

Probably on a temporary time out.

My vote would be for a permanent ban - what good can come from giving an aggressive, entitled, disrespectful individual another chance? This person already showed their true colors.

I guess we'll find out if he decides to return.

I bet you comment other useless things on here too just to feel special, huh?

Pot, meet kettle.

Appreciate all the advice. I guess my concern over access trumps the way it looks. This is the second bathroom in the basement (no outside access) and at some point someone is going to change the fixture.

I’d use a quality fixture and not worry about the access so much. Most (maybe 99.9%) of shower valves are in a wall. Use the cartridge type. Frame walls out and the end result will be far better. Buy some extra tile and stash it so that one day, if and when the time comes, you have to get in there you can surgically open the wall up from the shower side and have spare tiles to patch it. You could use tiles and a layout that minimizes damage should you ever need to open the wall…think larger squares with the valve sitting behind one large tile with a hole drilled in it.

If you must leave it exposed I’d drop the head from the ceiling and use exposed copper for all piping. It will patina and not look horrible. I’d be nervous about getting tile to stick to that wall with all that gloss paint on there. Some serious prep to get it scuffed up is likely needed.
