There is special place in heaven for uploaders like you. thank you!
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
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.
@Madden Julio definitely, have been using flixzone} for months myself :D
@Madden Julio definitely, have been watching on Flixzone} for years myself =)
Well done, Mr. Donnelly. Your guidance is extremely well done. Cheers!
Thanks for this video. It is precisely the problem I am having and now, with your example, I have a chance of repairing it. Thank you.
Excellent video Tom!
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.
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
Thanks for the kind words AG!
This is the exact unit in my flat, thanks a tonne for the deconstruction!
Thank you for your video, i will try this at the weekend.
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
Very helpful video. I now have a clear idea of how to proceed. Thank you, sir.
Great, I got to do very similar to this.
Many thanks for video. Helped me a lot. Appreciate it..
Brilliant i have exactly this job to do on Friday. Lets see how I get on.
Thanks Tom, I will give it a go.
Great video, well done.
_Really useful video_
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.
Very helpful thanks
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?
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 .
Perfect video
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
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.
I need that exact washer kit, shower looks exactly the same what kit did you order?
Can you please post a link to the washers you bought.
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
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
what's the name/type of the little blue screw driver you are using at the beginning?
thanks
Where can i order the parts as i dont know whats the name of valve i need the same
Where can u get these all I can find is the smaller ones for taps.
Mine has 2 screws to isolate the water. I've screwed them in as instructed but I've still got water flow.
How do you turn the valve off so you can order the part?
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.
Did you change the Ceramic Disc ? anybody ?
Why you didn't check the other 2 at the bottom as well?
Link for the replacement parts. Thank you.
Simon Jones where is the link ?
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
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?
Adjust the temperature at the water heater
Brilliant Tom. Do you have ebay supplier details please?
This chap has sold a few! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Valve-Tap-Replacement-Ceramic-Disc-Silicon-Washer-Gasket-Insert-1-2/382086328155
That link is for smaller smaller sized washers! I ordered it and couldn’t even get my oinking through it
I presume that you have already turned the water supply off before you started?
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.
