My mixer shower isn't working properly

Mixer showers usually look like a metal bar, with a lever or handle one side to turn the water on, and a thermostat on the other side to control the temperature. Electric showers have to be turned on via a pull cord and are usually a white box. They are switched on using a button on the front. If you think yours is an electric shower click here.

Mixer shower isn’t working or there are temperature issues

First, check your thermostat is turned up, or try turning it up to maximum and see if this resolves the issue.

Water Pressure Issues

This is normally caused by limescale build up on the shower head. Please see our video on how to deal with this. If you are think of or already have changed your shower head it's very important to make sure it is compatible with your make and model of shower. Incompatible shower heads can also cause fluctuating temperatures.


The shower is leaking

If the leak is coming from the hose or head, try tightening the join the leak is coming from.

If there is a fault with the shower head or hose, it is your responsibility to repair or replace it. Shower heads should be changed on a like for like basis. If the leak is coming from the shower unit itself you will need to report this to us for repair.

Riser rail fault

We won’t come out to change the height of your riser rail, so you’ll need to adjust this yourself. If there is any other fault or it’s broken, report a repair.
