Like leaky taps, leaky showers can cause many different problems that are annoying at best or even destructive at worst. Depending on the kind of leak you’re experiencing and what it’s caused by, the repairs could be simple enough to fix on your own—often enough, dripping shower heads or faucets are minor repairs that you can deal with on your own. However, major leaks can threaten flooring or ceilings and can cause mold or pest invasions, and so they require professional assistance. That’s where we come in.
Common Shower Faults
The most common types of showers and the faults that they tend to develop are:
- Mixer Shower Repairs
The idea behind the mixer shower is simply that it mixes the hot and cold supply to a manually adjusted temperature. The faults most often experienced with these showers are a result of lime-scale build up inside the shower which can result in the controls becoming too stiff to use, or alternately, a leak from the shower head or shower controls.
- Electric Shower Repairs
Electric showers act kind of like a of mini boiler, and they heat incoming cold water to a desired temperature within the shower unit. But just like any kettle, the constant heating of water eventually results in a coating of lime-scale inside the shower unit. You will probably have to replace an electric shower unit every 2-5 years, depending on how hard the water in your home is.
- Thermostatic Shower Repairs
A thermostatic shower has an internal thermostat inside it that maintains the water at a certain temperature regardless of the fluctuations in hot or cold water supply. The main problems that can develop in these kinds of valves are that water can get out when the valve is turned to the off position, leading to leakage, or the system can simply fail to hold the set temperature.
Power Shower Repairs
Power showers look something like electric showers, but they are in fact very different as they they have a pump instead of a heating unit. A power shower can make your shower much more enjoyable by increasing the pressure of the water. The faults that occur most often with power showers are usually related to an electrical supply, trapped air or pump motor.
