Why can't I get my shower to run cold water?

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.49 PM

The bath in my new flat has a bath/shower mixer tap with shower hose attached. The tap runs both hot and cold water on the bath setting but when I pull the knob to switch it to the shower setting, I can only get hot water to come through the shower head. Could anyone suggest what would be causing this? And is it a difficult issue to fix?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
