Shower repair

Takes about 30 min

A shower that drips after you turn it off, sprays sideways or barely trickles usually has scale in the head, a worn washer at the arm or a tired diverter. A verified plumber takes the head off, descales the nozzles, renews the washers at each joint and checks the diverter so water goes where you choose.

The visit takes about 30 minutes, at the fixed price shown on this page. If the shower head or diverter cartridge is past repair, the plumber tells you, and a replacement part is quoted before fitting, or you can buy one yourself. Leave the bathroom dry and clear so the plumber can stand safely.

How the visit goes

  1. 1

    Run the shower

    The plumber checks the spray, the flow and where water drips from after closing.

  2. 2

    Strip the head

    The head is taken off and soaked or brushed to clear scale from the nozzles.

  3. 3

    Renew washers

    Joints at the arm and hose are resealed, and the diverter is cleaned.

  4. 4

    Test the flow

    The shower is run again to check an even spray and no drip when closed.

What we need from you

  • A dry, clear bathroom floor
  • Any new shower head you want fitted

Questions about this service

My shower water comes out sideways. Can that be fixed?

Usually it is hard-water scale blocking some nozzles. Descaling the head normally restores an even spray.

The shower drips long after I close it. Why?

A worn washer or a leaking diverter is the common cause. The plumber renews the washer and checks the diverter.

Is the price fixed?

Yes, the price shown on this page covers the repair. Only a new part, if needed, is quoted separately before fitting.
