Got a bath/shower diverter to look at, keeps dripping, not sure yet if it's the tap valves that are the cause or if the diverter is on its way out.

how easy is it to repair diverter a on these?

Providing I can get it apart is there a common fault on diverters going?
 
There's a couple of o-rings on the stem part of the divertor that can wear down, however if it's continually dripping when not turned on, it's going to be one of the tap cartridges passing imo - especially if they're quarter turn ceramics.
Be sure to go daft with the silicone grease if you do take the divertor stem out, they can be a pain for sticking if you don't.

Yes hopefully it's the cartridges that need replacing.
