How to fix a dripping shower with concealed 1/4 turn valves

[@famaccount7890]

There is special place in heaven for uploaders like you. thank you!

[@MakeupByUlrika]

Thank you for this video. I had a couple of plumbers looking at the leak, one saying it was too complex and the other saying the whole system had to be replaced and had to knock down the wall to do so. A friend helped me change the parts as per your video and it saved me lots of money and unnecessary building work

[@crazytom]

Great to hear. Thanks.

a trick : watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@titusrodney1168]

Great video - very informative. We were unlucky to buy a triple set from Bathstore many years ago. Utter cheap crap! They’ve leaked from early on and now I need to swap the thermostatic cartridge out. God knows how as it’s so recessed!

[@akpevbe]

Thank you very much for the video, my top valve got so loose i couldn't turn of my shower anymore (thought i'd hav to call a plummer to come fix it). Your video showed me how to open it up so as to just tighten the loose screw inside. Thanks a lot dude

[@emilylee6018]

Very helpful video. I now have a clear idea of how to proceed. Thank you, sir.

[@jimblack3170]

Well done, Mr. Donnelly. Your guidance is extremely well done. Cheers!

[@blesshiscottonsocks]

This is the exact unit in my flat, thanks a tonne for the deconstruction!

[@2wheelsonline]

Exactly what I needed to know! Many thanks!! :-) The retaining screws for the valve knobs I changed used flat head slots rather than 2.5mm allen key. Better if you haven't got a 2.5 allen key to hand but I've got over half a dozen 2.5mm.

[@gerrytravers3463]

Well well, here we go again darlin' You seem to know wha/howt to do in all DIY jobs...you really are worth your room...so clever. Cheers AG xx

[@crazytom]

Thanks for the kind words AG!

[@raym-i5p]

also my gasket wasnt the problem and i was hoping you had another video w the ceramic parts

[@mukhtarismail1376]

I know this is an old clip but thank you. It is very informative. Please can you show how to remove the temp thermostat? Also the parts available?

[@triptishrestha4625]

Great, I got to do very similar to this. Many thanks for video. Helped me a lot. Appreciate it..

[@Retired1967]

Cheers, I'd have never have got to the valve without this video. My Allen key was 15/64 😂. One problem, the sealing face that the valve seal sits on is showing signs of pitting, any idea on how to smooth it out a bit with the restricted access. Thanks for the video .

[@tomclare1333]

Excellent video Tom!

[@MrREHW]

Brilliant i have exactly this job to do on Friday. Lets see how I get on.

[@marlenemcadam1460]

Hi Tom, I have had a drip on my rain water overhead shower for some time and recently I fitted a new handheld shower head and hose but now both heads drip. Until I saw your video, I thought it was the shower heads that were at fault. Can you please tell me what the middle valve is for-could this be the cause of both drips? Your video is excellent thank you, still learning at 74 years of age. Marlene

[@shahzadrafiq2419]

Thankyou for the video. Any chance of you measuring the width of washer/gasket that you replaced, i noticed there was a red and blue, if you still have the spares still. just so we know what size to look for. the majority sold are 1/2 inch but the description mentions that they are for taps. Not sure if they will replace the shower washer. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@Leo-gt1bx]

Did you find the answer?

[@mrwhippy14]

Thank you for your video, i will try this at the weekend.

[@garywateridge]

thanks for posting a great informative video on how to sort out my shower control valves. was just wondering how you knew the make of the vavles so you ordered the correct parts on ebay?.thanks

[@Leo-gt1bx]

Did you find the answer?

[@rehmaahmed9644]

I have the cube shower controls you showed in the early part of your vudeo. The temperature control wont turn all the way so we can only use very hot water. Any tips on how to take those ones off and fix it? I cant seem to find any screws or loosen them like you did for this one.

[@philwalker1243]

Thanks Tom, I will give it a go.

[@raym-i5p]

can you post the parts you bought in that gasket kit

[@Leo-gt1bx]

I have the same problem but also a leaking thermostatic. Have you removed one before? What washer set did you buy and how many variations in size are there I don't want to buy the wrong thing Thanks

[@sarahbaillie1454]

Thank you for the video. I also have a problem with the diverter leaking on the top of a three valve system. My issue is that the sleeve is a lot longer and goes into the wall. the plumber has unscrewed it so it will come out about a 1/2 inch but no more. Do you know how to remove it? It's a Hudson Reed Art shower the we purchased in 2016. Thank you for your help.

[@barrydoherty636]

Great video, well done.

[@rizwanhaque9735]

Can you please post a link to the washers you bought.

[@Leo-gt1bx]

Did you figure it out?

[@andygm525]

Mine has 2 screws to isolate the water. I've screwed them in as instructed but I've still got water flow.

I have a Grohe mixer shower that has a small drip from the shower head whenever I turn on the basin taps. Is this related to some sort of diverter in the shower assembly that will need replacing?

[@worldcruiser2010]

Where can i order the parts as i dont know whats the name of valve i need the same

[@broxbourneunitedoranges9804]

I need that exact washer kit, shower looks exactly the same what kit did you order?

[@davidgray3868]

Where can u get these all I can find is the smaller ones for taps.

[@annacumisky9948]

Any tips for not being able to unscrew the early part with the pin wrench? We have tried but the whole piece (including the narrow rod that protrudes furthest and turns the dial) turns a small amount but does not unscrew. Any help gratefully received

[@bradleyforsythe]

I’ve dug through the comments looking for the part to order. I have the same shower and need to fix its leak. Any help is appreciated.

[@gentory]

_Really useful video_

[@annasereni1127]

what's the name/type of the little blue screw driver you are using at the beginning?

[@koditus]

Very helpful thanks

[@gemmalindridge4232]

How do you turn the valve off so you can order the part?

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

Why you didn't check the other 2 at the bottom as well?

[@bghancock84]

Link for the replacement parts. Thank you.

[@worldcruiser2010]

Simon Jones where is the link ?

[@nayair3710]

Did you change the Ceramic Disc ? anybody ?

[@stevewhite5395]

Brilliant Tom. Do you have ebay supplier details please?

[@crazytom]

This chap has sold a few! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Valve-Tap-Replacement-Ceramic-Disc-Silicon-Washer-Gasket-Insert-1-2/382086328155

[@never4ever386]

That link is for smaller smaller sized washers! I ordered it and couldn’t even get my oinking through it

[@ianbonnypitlad397]

A very useful video but I’ve searched eBay for the service kit and can’t find anything Anyone able to quote the correct description to search or the eBay item number please

[@Leo-gt1bx]

Did you find the answer?

[@davidwray6077]

I presume that you have already turned the water supply off before you started?

[@sarahjohnston515]

Perfect video

[@dianeadjei3931]

I have the same system my issue is the water runs extremely hot and unable to regulate the temperature using the hot/cold function. What would you say the problem is?

[@kellieloflin3227]

Adjust the temperature at the water heater

[@actorlyric]

Don't just change the seal change the whole cartridge as you'll be back in a few weeks when you start having issues again with the ceramic discs.

[@Userhi30000]

thanks
