Firstly, merry chuffin christmas....
I have an odd setup - cheap builder to blame....but thats another story....
Cold water tank in loft, thats all, no other tanks. Combi boiler providing hot water to radiators, taps & shower. I can hear a drip coming from behind the (standalone) shower so take off the covers to the valve and yes, there's a drip. OK, turn off the main water valve - still water coming through the cold taps.....(Is this because the cold taps are fed from the water tank in the roof?) and the shower valve is still dripping. Take off the valve and a portion of the valve has worn away but on replacing the rubber o-ring inside, it still drips....this is getting annoying now, cue argument with wife, quick shout at the kids...back to it. Except I'm stuck - is it plumber time? Will another shower valve stop the drip?
Any advice gratefully received.....
