It is a Swan mixer/shower bath tap with a push lever to transfer from shower to tap. It is stuck on shower with a small flow coming from the tap that constantly flows while shower is in use. No matter how much I push or pull the lever it won't switch to tap.

Hi, I can't find an answer to my query anywhere so am asking if anyone could tell me if it is possible to repair a bath shower/mixer tap that is stuck on the shower position, there is only a trickle coming through the tap.

the other side of the wall is the downstairs cloakroom and the wall opposite where I need the plug is a kitchen wall. There is no way without taking a cable up and over doors and around walls. The fuse box is located under the stairs which is part of the downstairs cloakroom but on the...

I will have to check when I get home, but from recollection the fuse box is quite old probably from when the house was built in 1986, there is only one on/off, with the fuses located under a removable cover. The other cable I mentioned that was added at some put coming directly from the fuse...

The fuse in the fused boiler switch has a 13amp fuse in it, it also has two sets of wires, one going to one side and another set to the other side. I also noticed that running through the back of the box is an electic cable that runs through but does not appear to connect to the switch. It would...

Thanks for replying, If the boiler switch is 13amp, could I do it, the sockets are primarily only to plug the phone and modem into. The other cable mentioned goes directly into the fuse box/consumer unit? Is it compulsory to add an RCD to a spur, I assumed that it would already be...

Hi I have just moved house and find that there are no electrical mains sockets in my hall way, the only electrical feed is to the central heating boiler that is a fused switch. Can I add a double socket spur from this point? Its fitted into the wall, so I am presuming that it comes from the...

I hope so, its about 3.5m from the cold tank, but not much higher. I did think I might need a pump but thought I would see what happens and sort it after. I would have to get some one to fit it I think as I would be nervous doing it myself. The system in the airing cupboard looks complicated and...

Hi, I'm afraid that without doing major changes to the bathroom, I have no choice about putting it at the wrong end of the bath because there is no wall at the other end. It was badly thought out in the first place. Unfortunately, I don't have the expertise to tackle changing the whole bathroom...

Could anyone give me advice about fitting a mixer shower over the bath please. I have to fix the shower at the wrong end of the bath that directly butts up against an outside wall, so the pipework will be exposed. Is it possible to drill the two holes for the 15mm copper pipe that will feed...
