    Washing machine waste not draining properly

    Washing machine waste not draining properly

    Stuck thermostatic shower valve

    Good question! I thought I’d have to take it out to match it first. Is there a way to match it in situ?

    Stuck thermostatic shower valve

    Hi, I’ve replaced several tap valves but never a shower one. I’m at a point where I can get a socket over the bolt using a rachet to apply force, but it will not budge. I slipped, putting pressure on and it has rounded the edges of the six sided part of the valve slightly, it’s ok, but my fear...
