Hello all,
We have the below shower valve. It's no longer working - as in no water comes out at all. Plumber has said the cartridge will be full of limescale but unfortunately they couldn't actually open the casing to get into the valve because of the limescale...therefore they can't just replace the cartridge we've been informed. They managed to screw off the inlets and there is definitely water going into the valve.
We've been told we need to replace the whole valve, riser and shower head. Does this sound correct? Not sure why we wouldnt be able to just replace the valve (inlet sizes seem standardised at 150mm) - the only issue I could forsee is if the outlet on top isn't compatible with the riser - but surely these are universal/riser can be trimmed/are there adaptors available?
Picture attached, thank you!
