Hi all,
Got downstairs this morning after taking a shower to find water dripping through the garage ceiling. I've poured a bucket of water down the drain which showed no leak, but when the mixer tap is on that's when the water appears. The tap has been dodgy since we moved in, it very stiff and it can move beyond 90 degrees occasionally, so I'm pretty sure this is the cause.
Can someone help me get to the back of the chrome fixing? I'm assuming behind there there is some sort of valve that I can change - I'm hoping I'm not going to have to take any tiles off!
The one I've got looks a bit like the one in the attached files.
I can see that both the handles unscrew but I can see anything else in the holes.
Hope this is enough info, if required I can take a picture of the actual shower mixer later in and upload.
EDIT: OK, managed to find out the exact shower from a part number underneath. Anyone any experience of where these likely leak from? It must be at the back somewhere, and it only leaks when turned on.
