Mixer Tap Shower Water Pressure Problem

[bevhunter1986]

Hi

I have a shower which is a plain old style mixer tap shower to bath (so not electrical unit or anything).

My mixer tap is broken so no longer allows me to fill the bath via the taps, but works through the shower head. The pressure is pathetic though, all the other taps in the house including bathroom sink the pressure is brilliant.

The pressure has always been pathetic but its annoying me now, so I have replaced the shower head and this hasn't solved it. Additionally I have attempted to fill the bath using the flexi metal pipe of the shower and the pressure is still pants, so leads me to think that this isn't the shower head at all, but a different kind of problem.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Your energy needs to be directed towards the repair or replacement of the bath filler, methinks......on some makes, spares are available.
The mechanism from bath to shower is purely mechanical, and its most unlikely to be completely beyond repair.
Give us a photo of the taps please?

Time to splash out on a new mixer I suspect, as Burnerman suggests a pic will help and look under the bath to see if any taps are partly turned off.
