    Bath/Shower mixer

    My wife complained the mixer switching lever was getting stiff so I unscrewed it to see the problem. Something obviously broke in the process as now the mixer is stuck on shower no matter what position the switch is in. To replace the whole unit is around £100. Can spares be obtained for this...

    Hydramax (Aqualisa) mixer - thoughts on this?

    Having only really dealt with bar mixers and electric showers this would be a first for me. So my mixer shower started going hot and cold every now and then, and eventually started to leak frequently from the middle, so replaced the cartridge, which has solved the 2 issues. This is the bit...

    Monobloc kitchen mixer 32mm back nut - spanner

    Anyone coming across these tap fixing components. I'm struggling to find a box spanner to fit. The nut is about 33-34 mm between flats. New install and as far as I can see nothing apart from a box spanner will tighten this. Unless you have the opportunity fit before installing sink.

    replace thermostatic mixer shower valve (mains pressure unvented system boiler system)

    With a thermostatic mixer showers, can you replace the unit, in a mains pressure unvented system boiler configuration, by just turning the cold mains off at the stopcock when the water supply enters the property? Will the hot and cold water stop flowing if you turn the mains water off?

    Shower mixer valve advice please.

    I need to replace an old Sirrus 1850 shower mixer valve with a more uptodate mixer bar. Problem is that the hot feed is on the right and the mixer bars I've seen ask for the hot feed to be on the left. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance for any replies.

The current setup doesn't have any isolation valves so was thinking I'd cut the pipe, install a couple of flat faced isolation valves and then screw the flexi's into that.
