Leaking shower

Hi Guys


I have a mira 88 shower, the type that runs off the cold and hot feeds, not from the taps but from the pipes in the wall.

Last year I got a new combi boiler and noticed the shower began to drip after turning it fully off. Recently its got worse and now its a steady stream.

I am not sure how theses work but would anyone have and ideas as to what is causing the leaking. Whne I got the combi in the fitter said its common problem with these kinds of thermostatic showers.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it please? Or even how to remove knob to get into it

Forgive me, but I thought the 88 wasn't suitable for a combi set up?

You need a service kit to overhaul.

Have a look on this link:

This is for build-in version but is the same type of valve.

Mira 88 is suitable for main pressure. It just need a service.

A good video. I love the way he goes straight into it. If it was one of those American you tube videos, it would be three hours long and two hours before he actually starts fixing it.

Mira have a full range of spares on their web site http://www.mirashowers.co.uk/home.htm
If I was you, I'd just replace the whole cartridge. 5 min job and dead easy rather than trying to replace the individual seals.
