shower

I have a Mira Jump Shower. The other day I noticed it goes hot even when the switch is set to cold. The only way to get it to cold is to put it on Eco setting. New thermostat needed, switch or new shower?

Hi folks, I have a walk-in shower cabinet in my bathroom. It was installed around eight years ago and I have a black mould problem. I am happy to pay someone to reseal the shower cabinet but I'm not sure what this is going to involve. The mould has gotten down into the glass panel mountings...

Hello - we moved into our flat in February and have been putting up with a leaking shower since, but want it sorted now! Sounds like we need a new cartridge. It’s a concealed shower though and we don’t know the brand, can anyone help? A local plumber has said since we don’t know the brand we’ll...

We live in a 1930s house and have a walk-in shower in the bathroom with a double window. The current extractor fan is installed on the wall adjacent to the shower, and we usually keep the window open while showering. Despite this, we experience a lot of condensation, which has led to mould...

We are installing a shower screen onto the supplied shower tray. Tray is fine but weeks later, when we are finally ready to fit the enclosure, there appears to be a problem. Waiting to hear back form Victorian Plumbing but essentially the two side glass curved profiles only match the track (top...

I've been looking to tackle this shower. The water leaks and has soaked the parquet flooring, which is rotten. I noticed while I was showering that some of the tiles would rock when you stepped on them, and you'd see air bubbles come out the grout. I scraped the grout out around a tile and...

Hi everyone - sorry if if this post doesn't comply with forum rules, I'm a first-time poster here! I've just moved into a new house which has a Victorian-style bath shower mixer mounted above the bath on the wall. There's a constant, fairly heavy drip coming from the spot, which shifts to...

Hi all, just created a page to ask a question! We have just bought our first home and are very happy. However the neighbour has told us that the bath fell through into the kitchen a while ago and that was the reason they renovated to the standard it's at now. There is a brand new kitchen and...

I have a Redring Bright electric shower. It was dripping regularly when the shower was turned off. I noticed that when other taps were used, it caused the shower to drip as if it was somehow linked. Rather than replace any of the parts, I bought a new shower (same model) and fitted it. I changed...

Got an unbranded shower mixer control which is slowly but constantly dripping - are there generic cartridges which might fit something like this, or does it need replacing? If replace, am I likely to find a straight replacement? I can’t see any grub screws or similar holding the fascia plate on...

Hi. I have just had a shower tray installed. Before everything else is tiled, how do I make sure the installation is such that everything will drain properly and I won't have to be squeegeeing the shower tray? Should the ball fall towards the drain; should the whole tray be sloped towards the...

Have had a leak from a shower screen which a tenant had very helpfully partially-siliconed to the bath and hinge after throwing the seal away - it has rotted the bottom corner of the frame, the bottom of the stud upright and the cover piece (pictures attached), and the wood is still very wet...

With regard to picture 1 (attached), should I seal the hole in the XPS board with neutral sealant before placing the pipe sleeve over the top and then tanking it, or is the idea that the rubber sleeve will act as waterproofing anyway, once the pipe collar has been sealed against the board using...

Hey all! I generally don't use the waterfall shower in favour of the small shower head. When this is in use the waterfall head drips cold water. There doesn't look to be much to the outlet, how do I stop it leaking? My guess is maybe something is worn out in the main control/tap unit?

My shower mixer tap popped off when I was turning it (hot water end) I turned off stop cock and tried to put it back on. I can't get it back on securely, it always seems loose. I can tighten the screw at the end but that makes no difference as that only seems to hold the valve inside the chrome...

I have a twin concealed shower valve- recently it has got incredibly stiff when turning the temperature control (bottom tap) clockwise to cold but still smooth when anticlockwise to hot. I want to try remove the tap to see if I can work out what is going on. I have removed the grub screw from...

I have just moved into a new home with a Gainsborough shower. On our first viewing i turned it on and it ran hot for around 5 minutes. Since moving on it hasn’t stayed hot for more than 10 seconds. I have no idea about these kinds of things and any advice is appreciated. :)

Should my shower shroud cover these exposed threads? I can’t tighten the nuts anymore and the shroud can’t be moved closer as the threads/nut will start to show on the other side. I can’t move the threads into the wall as there’s not enough space around the copper pipes.

Hello, We're in the process of getting an insulated outbuilding built at the end of our garden for ourselves and also a family member whom has sensory need to use the odd occasion. The new outbuilding will have 3 multi-use rooms which are: 1. A relaxing/sensory room 2. Wet room (Basic...

Hi all, I need to replace a Triton bar shower that runs directly off a combi boiler. It is a standard bar shower with a flexible hose and head on a riser. It has 150mm pipe centres and I don't want to mess with the pipework. I was going to swap for another Triton or something like a Mira Coda...
