What to know

Locate the symptom within the shower

Describe whether water appears from the outlet while shut off, behind or below the control, at a hose connection, around the enclosure, or as the tray drains. Note whether the issue occurs with the shower running, after use or even while unused.

Useful details

Plumbing controls and electrical equipment need different specialists

Identify whether the shower is supplied by a visible mixer, concealed valve, electric unit or another arrangement. Plumbing around feeds and wastes is distinct from electrical repair and boiler or gas-appliance work. Do not remove a concealed faceplate or open an electrical unit to gather details.

Next step

Compare shower-only and whole-property behaviour

If hot and cold flow is normal at other outlets, the issue may be local to the shower arrangement. If several fixtures lose flow, use water pressure problems. If hot water is affected throughout the property, use hot water problems.

Scope

Repair or planned replacement

A visible hose, head or accessible control presents different access from a concealed valve behind finished surfaces. For a planned replacement, provide product information, current connection spacing and the proposed access approach. A wider bathroom layout change belongs under bathroom plumbing alterations.

  • Visible or concealed valve
  • Surface-mounted or built-in pipework
  • Existing access panel
  • Like-for-like repair or planned product change

FAQs

Quick answers before you request plumbing help.

What is the difference between shower and tap repairs?

Shower repairs covers shower controls, hoses, heads, enclosures and shower wastes. Tap and mixer repairs covers basin, bath and kitchen taps.

Why does the shower leak only while it is running?

The timing may point towards a connection, enclosure, seal or waste rather than a closed control. Describe the first place water becomes visible.

Where should I report poor flow at every outlet?

Use water pressure problems when several fixtures are affected. Keep shower-only flow changes on this page.

Does this include electric-shower repair?

This plumbing page does not cover electrical diagnosis inside an electric shower. Describe any visible plumbing symptom and arrange electrical work through the appropriate service.

Should a concealed shower valve be exposed first?

No. State that it is concealed and identify any existing access panel. Access and finish implications should be considered before fixed surfaces are opened.
