Shower Seals

[richie00boy]

I have a shower like in the picture. The temperature control is dripping water. Anybody recognise this brand of shower and advise if I can buy a new seal? I can't see how to get the knob off.

There is probably a consealed screw if not it should just pull,off can be tight

Wether the valve is serviceable is anyone's guess

The mixer tap in the kitchen was dripping, I took it apart and as it is a quarter turn ceramic valve there was nothing to service to cure it. Faced with spending £50 plus to replace the mixer tap and a morning to fit it I resorted to packing out the ceramic valve with a washer cut from the side of a plastic milk carton. Problem solved and it's been in for over 2 years!

Not sure how the control knob is removed - concealed grub screw or push-on as the previous poster suggested. Under that will be a cartridge thermostat - which should be a moderately standard replaceable (but expensive) item... like this http://www.showerdoc.com/triton-the...TTx0ki3hZYeVAq-qQtQ823un5GTed8WB4bxoCqGzw_wcB
- for example only... Other makes are available. Replacing a seal may well be possible, and an interesting engineering challenge - but not one promoted by the manufacturer.

Thanks for the info.

I don't know the make as it was done before we moved in. I think it should be a good brand as everything else in the house is. But that picture I took off ebay and is a cheap one.

Will try pulling the knob off as I couldn't see any grub screw. Replacing a cartridge sounds OK.

Could be one a cap on the end

Screw might be behind the tap?+
