Leaky shower

[David937]

Hello,

We have a shower like this

The problem is that water leaks out from the tap when all of it
supposed to be coming out from the shower head! Is it a simple problem
to fix?

Thanks.

When you say "tap" do you mean the opening above the bath, or the gland nut on the spindle of the bit you turn?

Or do you mean that when you turn the handle to "shower" mode, water continues to come out of the tap?

It may be reparable - depends how easily you can remove the inner gubbins

Yeah when we turn it shower only water dribbles out the tap.

Thanks for replying.

You'll need to take out the diverting mechanism to see if it's reparable - maybe a worn washer.

Cheers, I'll have a look.
