Handle to my shower valve keeps spinning around.

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.06 PM

I have a Dual Exposed Thermostatic Shower valve. It does not leak. The temperature is fine. The on/off lever handle however used to hit a stop point at off, and now does not - it goes around forever in circles (turning the water flow on and off as it goes around). It's fine for now (working ok, I drew a marker pen line to indicate when to stop turning to shut the water off), but it will need fixing. Is this a spare part I can get, or do I need to replace the entire valve? I thinks it's a generic make - no brand obvious.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi, without a Brand it would be hard to get a replacement cartridge for your shower valve and having done this before I would recommend a replacement unit as the replacement cartridge is arround half the cost of a shower which in my opinion would push me into buying a whole replacement unit that would then be covered under warranty. Hope this helps.
