Damaged mixer bar

[Jupiter01]

The “red button” on this mixer has broken. This means that it no longer moves down (cooler) and the water is always hot.

I can’t find any details on the manufacturer.

Can you please advise on how I may be able to resolve this. Thanks in advance.

Just change the valve, they are cheap as chips and a ten minute job.

Buy a new shower bar mixer.

Is the valve the same as the mixer bar?

As long as the pipe centres are the same.

Yes, mixer bar is probably better though

Is that decent quality? I don’t mind paying a bit more if it will last longer.

Do these have a rubber washer fitting and therefore don’t need to be crazy tight?

It takes 10 minutes to fit, £40, you can't go wrong.

All makes do.
