Shower plumbing and pump repairs

What you might notice

A shower drips when switched off

Tell us if it runs continuously or only for a short period after use. The mixer or its fittings may need investigation.

A shower leaks only while in use

Water might be passing a seal, the screen, a waste connection or supply fitting. Where the water appears helps guide the checks.

A pump is noisy or behaves differently

Tell us if the change was sudden and whether it affects one shower or more than one outlet.

The shower suddenly runs weakly or changes temperature

Tell us whether other taps are affected and whether the change is on hot, cold or both. An outlet restriction, supply issue or a mixer fault can look similar.

Water escapes at the hose or handset

Notice if the water is at a threaded connection, through the hose itself or around the mixer. A photo of where it starts is more useful than a photo of the puddle.

Mixer, pump or enclosure?

Exposed or concealed shower mixer

With an exposed bar mixer the valve is visible. A concealed mixer can need access behind the controls. We check what can be reached and whether suitable seals, a cartridge or a replacement are available.

A pump rattles, cuts in and out, or fails to start

We ask whether one shower or several outlets are affected and when the noise occurs. We assess the plumbing supply and pump connections. Electrical faults need a suitably competent electrician.

Tray, screen and waste leaks

Water escaping where the shower spray hits the screen can point to a different problem from a leak that appears only as the tray drains. We check the likely route before discussing resealing or opening up.

What we can do

We can investigate leaks, replace suitable shower mixers, work on shower pump plumbing, and agree resealing or screen work where appropriate. Any electrical work requires suitably competent electrical provision and must be agreed separately.

Before you get in touch

Tell us the type of shower, when the issue happens and whether there is an accessible panel. A photo of the controls or pump label can help.
