Replacing a rain shower

[Dave123456789]

Hi there I currently have the attached

But want to get one that has a normal shower head too as well as rain shower

What do I need to consider?

I think it’s the 3 holes / 2 at bottom, 1 at top? So that piping remains the same?

So will this work?

Or is there more to consider?
The valve is a bit different - if this matters

If there are other shops to try pls do advise as I’m only used to b&q and wickes!

Are you trying to buy something that will fit exactly as your existing one does, I.e covering the holes in the tiles where the anchorage for the fixed head is ,or using the same fixings ,and will also connect to the existing plumbing pipework ,without needing any alteration ?? If you are ,then you will need to do a bit of work to establish what the plumbing connections are ,taking measurements ,distances apart etc.
And then find a suitable replacement.

Whatever is easier to be honest mate....

Missus just wants a normal shower head too...not just a rain shower

So any advice is appreciated on what To shop for and where

What you are looking for is a thermostatic diverter shower mixer. Plenty on the internet , independent retailers in most areas specialising in bathrooms ,a few in screwfix even. But without establishing what you have in existing plumbing installation ,you won't know what will or won't fit easily. You should engage a plumber to advise you.
