Common Shower Problems We Repair in Harkstead

Low Water Pressure

Experiencing a weak dribble instead of a refreshing stream? We diagnose and fix issues from blocked shower heads to faulty pressure-reducing valves, ensuring a powerful shower every time.

No Hot Water

A cold shower is never a pleasant surprise. We can quickly identify if the problem lies with your water heater, thermostat, or shower unit and restore your hot water supply.

Shower Leaking

Leaks can cause significant damage. From dripping shower heads to leaks behind tiles, our experts pinpoint the source and provide a lasting repair to prevent water damage.

Faulty Thermostatic Mixer Valve

Is your shower temperature erratic? A malfunctioning thermostatic valve can be dangerous. We repair or replace faulty valves to ensure a consistent, safe water temperature.

Dripping Shower Head

That constant drip-drip-drip isn't just annoying; it wastes water. We fix dripping shower heads by replacing washers, seals, or cartridges to stop the waste.

Pump Not Working

If your power shower has lost its oomph, the pump might be to blame. We diagnose pump issues, from electrical faults to mechanical wear, and carry out efficient repairs.

Temperature Fluctuating

Sudden changes from hot to cold can be frustrating. This often points to issues with mixer valves, water pressure imbalances, or a failing heater element, all of which we can resolve.

Blocked Shower Drain

Water backing up in your shower? A blocked drain, often caused by hair and soap scum, needs clearing quickly to prevent overflows. We offer fast and effective drain unblocking.

Shower Switch Not Working

Problems turning your electric shower on or off? A faulty switch can be dangerous. We safely repair or replace broken shower switches and pull cords.

Electric Shower Faults

From tripping electrics to no power, electric showers have specific components that can fail. Our electricians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing all electric shower faults.

Loud Noise from Shower

Unusual noises like humming, banging, or screeching can indicate issues with your shower pump, water heater, or pipework. We'll find the source and quiet things down.

Broken Tap or Diverter

Cannot switch between your shower head and bath tap? A broken diverter or stiff tap mechanism is a common fix we handle quickly and efficiently.

Cracked or Damaged Shower Tray

A damaged shower tray can lead to leaks and floor damage. We can advise on repair options or provide professional replacement services.

Water Backing Into Shower

This often signals a more serious blockage further down your drain system. We use advanced techniques to clear deep-seated obstructions.

Leaking Pipes Behind Tiles

Hidden leaks are serious. We use leak detection technology to find and repair leaks behind your tiles with minimal disruption, preventing extensive damage.

Preventing Future Shower Problems

Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of your shower and prevent costly breakdowns. Here's some expert advice from AnglianPHE Ltd. to keep your shower running smoothly:

Regular Descaling

Hard water can cause limescale buildup. Regularly clean your shower head and components with descaling solutions.

Keeping Drains Clear

Use a drain protector and regularly remove hair and soap scum to prevent blockages and slow drainage.

Replacing Old Seals

Worn-out seals are a common cause of leaks. Replace them promptly to prevent water damage to your bathroom.

Checking Pipework

Periodically inspect visible pipework for any signs of corrosion, dampness, or small leaks.

Servicing Thermostatic Valves

If you have a thermostatic mixer shower, consider professional servicing every few years to maintain its precision and safety.

Fixing Minor Leaks Early

Don't ignore small drips. What seems minor can quickly escalate into a larger, more damaging problem if left unaddressed.
