My son has a shower mixer tap which has seized up. Is there any way of fixing it without removing the bath side panel to get at its guts? Going down there tomorrow so any advice would be appreciated!
I'm not a plumber, but if you like I can come round, suck my teeth and shake my head slowly. Would that help?
Was a fairly new build. The previous owners were getting divorced and wanted rid of the house fast so they actually bought our son's old house to speed up the deal! It's actually a rather nice house.
Turn the water off.pull up diverter knob, unscrew with spanner,jiggle the moving parts while lubricating with WD 40, clean it apply good quality silicone lube and use regularly to keep it moving. This applies to most things in life
It may be full of limescale....in which case pour vinegar carefully over the knob , so it runs down the shaft and into the guts and leave overnight....
This ^^^ The knob should unscrew and the mechanism can be cleaned with taps in situ... Obviously-water off !! Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk
