Shower mixer doesn't shut off bath flow completely

Jan 14, 2004 3 Replies

Hi, hope you can help.



I have pretty standard bath taps with a mixer switch for diverting the water flow through solely to the shower. It's possible to direct water towards either the taps or the shower, but a significant stream still flows through the other.



Is there an easy DIY remedy to this?



Thanks in advance.

Yes, unscrew the divertor gadget and relace O-rings and/or washers in there. If you live in a hard water area this may not be easy... My neighbour couldn't get his back in due to scale so hit it with a hammer! he bent the spindle and then got me to change the whole tap assembly ... not cheap.
