Hi we have a leaking shower mixer. How do I remove the mixer
Hello @Paul5
Please note that plumbing work needs to be completed by a licensed professional for safety and compliance.
Thank you for sharing your question about your shower mixer. Generally speaking, the ceramic cartridge of the shower mixer would need to be replaced. However, your mixer has a diverter/bypass switch attached to it which adds to the complexity of the repair. It no longer counts as a straightforward cartridge replacement. In this instance, I suggest engaging the services of a plumber as they can repair and anticipate any unexpected plumbing condition, including the chance that the diverter is also involved with the leak.
Replacing the shower mixer involves hard plumbing which counts as regulated plumbing work and would need to be carried out by a licensed plumber.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
