Good evening.
Our shower valve recently came away from its wall fixing. I have checked it and it looks as though the fixing screws have corroded and sheared off.
Any ideas on how the valve assembly is removed from the wall fixing plate on this valve please? I have examined it and can't see a grub screw, as I know sometimes these are used. The circular cap on top of the valve can be removed to reveal a hexagon key plug. I was wondering if this is what needs to be removed in order to allow the valve body to come away from the fixing.
The valve is a Bristan type but I can't see a model number on it and can't find details on the Bristan website. It is however quite old (more than 15 years) so I may even decide to replace the entire valve assembly.
Excuse the cable tie, but it's there temporarily to support the pipes by preventing the valve from dropping down.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
