Unless I turn the shower handles off extremely hard, the showerhead drips. I'd like to fix this so the shower handles can just be turned off normally without breaking an arm. Given the handles seem to be the issue, can anyone advise what the likely problem is and how easy it is to fix? Thanks!
Hello @kayara
The jumper valves inside your tapware have worn out which is why your shower head is leaking, and the taps are difficult to shut off. I suggest having a look at this guide - How to replace a tap washer. This will give you a general idea of how to change the Jumper valve in your shower tap. The general steps are to turn off the mains water outside your home. The next step is to remove the tap handle, unscrew the flange and use a shifter to remove the spindle itself. You can then have access to the jumper valve itself, replace it with a new one and do the steps in reverse to re-assemble.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
