I'd replace the whole valve for new, the customer will get a nice new shower and be happier,

These cartridges aren't universal and cost nearly as much as a new valve sometimes

shower doctor but depends on age and if unbranded might be quicker to get a new shower

If I had time, and the customer didn't want a new shower fitting. I'd whip it out and drive round some merchants with it. Done that before and got an exact match in about 30 mins.
Of course, the meter would be running while out on the scavenger hunt.

Only on a top end shower would I look at doing this as I get paid either way, but a new shower and rail looks good to the customer compared to the old thing that they've always had

Wouldn't even entertain looking for spares, there's so many different makes and by the looks of it it could do with a clean!

Plenty of deals to be had for showers similar.

The issue is that the temp. Site doesn't work anymore what do you think to do best off change whole valve or trying to get the cartridge ? Or you have got a solution to fix it ?

Replace with a whole new valve and fit a new rail, unless the valve was £200++
there not worth the hassle replacing the cartridges, even if you find the right one it'll end up being seized in and wont come out

Yeah, thanks buddy already cleared off with the customer. It's hard sometime with clients to deal with such problems they think you want more money ... But I explained him the issue and he is going to buy one.


Thanks anyway for all the plumbers they tried to help me.

Looks like one I've recently replaced. I've found that the brass cartridges seize up quite quickly (and in some older cases the inside of them have completely disintegrated!). I've found the plastic Vernet cartridges are incredibly reliable. I've never had a call back from a customer who needs me to go back because it's had a problem, and that is gold to me, and the customer. This is the one I rekon will be a good retrofit for your brass cartridge there (this is just based on the end of the cartridge, the splines, number of teeth on the temp handle. I'd need to see a photo of the cartridge outside the valve to properly identify it. But anyway, I rekon this'll do the trick:

Looking at those photos again, I just fitted one of those Vernet CAWH08-05 cartridges (in the link in the previous post) in a valve that looked identical to that one, so that fills me with even more confidence it would work.
