Hello
We had a new bathroom fitted 6 months ago, today I was cleaning the shower valves and one of them simply snapped off. It is one of those thermostatic mixer valves. The cartridge is Ok, in fact I can put the valve back and move it and the shower works fine, but the valve is a bit loose and comes out again unless you are extra careful. Some pics attached
Seems like there should be a washer somehow that's missing? It wasn't loose before, I.e., we couldn't simply remove it by applying moderate force. The second valve is Ok in this sense, also not easily removable.
I suppose this should be easy to put back but have no idea how. My bathroom DIY skills are pretty non existent.
