Common Shower Problems We Repair

Low Water Pressure

Experiencing a weak shower stream? This could be due to blockages, faulty diverters, or issues with your water supply. We diagnose and fix the root cause.

No Hot Water

A cold shower is never a good start to the day. We tackle issues from faulty heating elements in electric showers to boiler problems affecting mixer showers.

Shower Leaking

Leaks can cause significant damage. Whether it's a dripping head, a leak from the shower unit, or a hidden pipe leak, we find and seal it.

Faulty Thermostatic Mixer Valve

If your shower temperature is erratic or won't adjust, the thermostatic valve might be failing. We specialise in repair and replacement to ensure stable temperatures.

Dripping Shower Head

A constant drip wastes water and is annoying. Often caused by worn washers or internal valve issues, we can quickly resolve this common problem.

Pump Not Working

For power showers, a non-functioning pump means no pressure. We diagnose electrical faults or mechanical failures in your shower pump.

Temperature Fluctuating

Sudden changes from hot to cold can be dangerous and unpleasant. This usually points to a thermostatic issue or inconsistent water supply.

Blocked Shower Drain

Water backing up in your shower? Hair, soap scum, and debris commonly cause blockages. We offer fast and effective drain unblocking services.

Electric Shower Faults

From tripping electrics to no power at all, electric showers have unique issues that require specialist attention. Our engineers are trained to handle them safely.

Loud Noise From Shower

Unusual noises can indicate various problems, from pump issues to water hammer. We pinpoint the source and provide a lasting fix.

Broken Tap or Diverter

A faulty tap or diverter means you can't control water flow or switch between shower heads. We can repair or replace these components.

Cracked or Damaged Shower Tray

Cracks in your shower tray can lead to leaks and water damage. We assess the damage and advise on the best repair or replacement solution.

Water Backing Into Shower

Similar to blocked drains, this indicates a blockage further down the pipework. Our powerful tools can clear even stubborn obstructions.

Leaking Pipes Behind Tiles

Hidden leaks are serious. We use advanced leak detection techniques to find and repair leaks behind your tiles with minimal disruption.

  • Checking Pipework

    Keep an eye out for any signs of dampness or drips around visible pipework or behind access panels.
