Best way to reverse hot/cold thermostatic shower

[Mrxman]

Hi there

Our hot and cold pipes to thermostatic shower are the wrong way round and shower can only do either hot or cold water. I tested the shower by turning shower bar upside down which worked.
Basically I need to switch the pipes round and wondering what would be the most effective way of doing that.

The speedfit pipe in the picture is the cold pipe and the copper pipe is hot.

I could add a few extra tees but that's seems like a lot of extra connectors. wondering if there are better ways.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

On the cold copper pipe: change the current unequal tee to a 22mm elbow and then put a 22x15x22 tee in where it passes the plastic cold feed and up to the valve.

Then just get a longer length of plastic and bend that over to the left to connect to the valve cold inlet.

Thank you. That was a super clear explanation and super simple
