    Identifying shower mixer tap
    Hi there

    I need to replace the cartridge or valve inside my shower mixer. Ive had my plumber round but he can't identify the make or model so can't order the part. Can anyone help me? The actual problem is that the shower continually drips and only stops if you hit the mixer tap. Im guessing this must be the rubber valve inside is worn. Its it possible to replace the cartridge or valve. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to get one or offer advice on how to sort it.

    Thanks very much

    Dazzler... post the image by posting as you did for the last two posts but below the box you type in you will see an icon that states GO ADVANCED... clcik on this. Then at the next screen you will see all you wrote and you will scroll down until you see another icon that says MANAGE ATTACHMENTS. CLick on this and then browse your library. CLcik on the picture and then click on UPLOAD button to post the pictures. Clcik on SAVE CHNAGES and you should be all set.

    Let us know if you need more help...

    Thanks for that Massplumber. Managed to upload the pic. Ive since taken the shower apart and I think it could be a Mira unit as this is written on the back of the shower head. Just need the model or wear I can order a new one.

    Many Thanks
