My Daughter has one of these expensive Hudson Reed shower mixers
I suspect it is only one of the O rings leaking, so a few pence to fix it.
The HR website helpfully supplies fitting instructions but no breakdown views of the mixer.
Has anyone in the group ever dismantled one of these and is it possible to replace the O rings or does it contain a sealed unit?
Thanks
I tried to repair one and ruined it in the process. Limescale had got into every nook and cranny, seizing up the screws/bolts. One of these was brass, and sheared off when I tried to get it off. Work of the Devil I reckon.

How old is it? HR were very helpful when I had to contact them about some taps, and they have something like a 10 year warranty, so a call to them might be a first step.

I wonder (with the benefit of hindsight) if leaving it to soak for a few days in a weak acid (e.g. vinegar) would have helped. Of course, when you are fixing a shower you generally want to get it done smartly.
I don't know about that brand, but I finally managed to fix a mixer that had been dripping for years. There were two tiny O rings hidden inside the hole that the main shaft goes through.
Thats exactly what I did to dismantle a Mira mixer.Soaked in in descaler. Fortunately it was gold plated. Chrome doesn't lik bog dscaler..
Drifting off topic, Those people who think softeners aren't worth it because soap isn't that expensive, should consider the damage done to taps and shower mixers by scale buildup.
The helpful man from Hudson Reed has just sent me a breakdown view of the mixer together with which O rings to change for which faults. Looks straight forward, just have to keep my fingers crossed that I don't knacker it when I dismantle it.
