shower mixer

Hi folks, I'm trying to replace a shower mixer as it's leaking little bit and a hose is somehow stuck in it, no matter how much I try to turn a "nut" either way, it's just stays in same position. I've taken it down from a wall, but for my surprise, there is some weirdly sized fittings. I took...

Hi, My shower thermostatic cartridge is faulty I believe, as I can only get lukewarm water and no hot water. I have tried removing it to see if I can get a replacement online but I am stuck at this stage (pictures attached). I don't know the brand of the shower mixer. Does anyone know how I can...

We are refitting our bathroom and need a new shower - planning for a shower mixer with an overhead shower and a shower rail set, all concealed.

Hi, please can someone advise the make and model of this fixture as we need to replace. Thanks.

Hi I've got a concealed shower mixer, which has got stiffer to turn on over time. Basically to turn the shower on, you turn a handle to rotate the it by half a turn, so about 180 degrees, on the attached photo, this is the white lever pointing down. Over the last couple of years, this has got...

My new combi boiler is set for a hot water flow rate of 42C to avoid paying for HW only to add cold. 42C is a good compromise. For years now I have suffered from a variable shower temperature with the HW set at 60C so I have decided to bite the bullet and change the shower mixer bar. Looking...

I live in the US now in Western NY but I've lived in Britain from the end of the sixties to the beginning of the eighties just up to MT arriving on the scene. Anyway, I recently bought from the amazon UK site a shower mixer tap that I fancied 'but' I've never seen one that had three water...

Hi everyone, I have recently entered a new property. The property is served hot water by a gas combi boiler at a fixed temperature of 55oC. The bathroom of the property has a shower mixer with a tap, similar to the one shown on the attached image. From the beginning, this setup has been...

Hello and thank you for reading this post. A shower mixer tap is part jammed. It's the temperature adjustment side. The adjuster turns ok but the mechanism / cartridge inside must be jammed because the water temperature does not change. There is no manufacturer name on the unit. It was...

Hi there, I have a thermostatic shower bar mixer on my shwoer which has gone bust due to limescale. So I went to replace it but found that the pipe inlets are 100mm which is completely unstandard. I've looked around and can't find any similar showers with a 100mm pipe centre (apart from a...

Hello, I am fitting a new shower, this is a mixer shower run off a combi boiler and cold mains. The rest of the pipework (at least anywhere near the shower) is plastic Hep20 (fitted by myself). My problem is I don't know what kind of connection I need to attach the shower inlet to the plastic...

Hi, I've just moved into a new house and the previous owner mentioned that the concentric mixer shower has been disabled since there's an electric shower in the cubicle as well. Supposedly, the mixer shower still works - just that it's been disabled since it's not recommended to use both shower...

Hi folks. So I'm thinking the hot and cold feeds have been plumbed in the wrong way round on this Bristan mixer. (Combi boiler installation.) I'm no plumber, but as I understand it, hot should go in on the left (i.e. the bottom feed in the photos) and cold in on the right. If that's the case...
