Trying to find unusual sealing washers for shower mixer tap

[BrianS]

I heard the shower running last night whilst switched off! The cause of the leak turned out to be fairly obvious – see pic below.

Does anyone know of a source for replacement sealing rings please? They seem to be a sort of silicone material in a U shape.

Also, could there be seals missing completely? Seems unlikely that they could not leave a trace behind so I am guessing not.

Can’t find a makers name anywhere on the shower

I went to Plumbbase and they didn’t have anything like it but gave me some O rings. Not convinced that they are worth trying though…

Hi BrianS,

Try a search for the Shower Doctor (Showerdoc) I had a problem identifying a part so emailed them a photo and they sorted it out.
Good luck

PS also try Lunns plumbing site, lots of pictures of shower valves you may be able to ID bits there.

Thanks for the reply. My brother tracked it down on Google and it seems that I can get all I need from the makers
