Shower Repairs in Norwich — Leaks, Temperature & Pressure Faults.
We trace the cause of shower faults before recommending parts or replacement. The problem may be in the valve, cartridge, water supply, pump, hose, head, isolation, or the shower unit itself.
Leaking shower valves and controls
A drip from the control, outlet, or concealed valve can come from a worn cartridge, seal, connection, or damaged valve body. We isolate the shower, identify the component, and explain whether a repair or replacement is sensible.
- Thermostatic bar mixers and exposed valves
- Concealed valve cartridges and service seals
- Flexible hoses, handset connections, and shower heads
- Leaking pipe connections behind accessible panels
Temperature changing or running too hot
Unstable temperature can be caused by a sticking thermostatic cartridge, incorrect hot and cold balance, scale, a combi-boiler flow issue, or another outlet affecting pressure. We test the wider system rather than changing parts blindly.
Low pressure and weak flow
Blocked heads, restricted filters, partially closed valves, failing pumps, and unsuitable supply arrangements can all reduce shower flow. We check the easy causes first and recommend the least disruptive reliable fix.
Repair or replace?
Where parts are available and the valve body is sound, repair is often good value. If a unit is obsolete, badly scaled, electrically unsafe, or uneconomical to repair, we can discuss a suitable replacement and any related plumbing work.

Can you repair a thermostatic shower that keeps changing temperature?
Yes. We check the cartridge, filters, hot and cold supplies, pressure balance, and heat source before recommending a part. Temperature faults are not always caused by the visible shower control.
Can you identify a concealed shower cartridge?
Often, yes. Photos of the controls and any brand markings help before the visit. Where the model is unclear, we inspect the valve and measurements so the correct part can be sourced.
Do you repair electric showers?
We can diagnose plumbing-side faults and discuss suitable like-for-like replacement where the existing electrical supply is appropriate. Any electrical work outside the permitted scope must be completed by a suitably qualified electrician.
Will you quote before replacing the shower?
Yes. We explain the diagnosis and agree the price before ordering parts or starting a chargeable repair or replacement.
