Banging noise when shower turned on
Anonymous user 12/11/2026 - 1.27 PM
New cartridge fitted, to shower mixer tap, water pressure fine and still a loud banging noise as shower is turned on, which can continue for about 15-20 seconds.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If it is a continuous banging for that long it sounds like a loose pipe or trapped air being compressed when water is flowing or a loose component moving about.

Most often, it is a water pipe that makes noise (due to a lack of mounting brackets); such cases need to be heard to be identified. However, there could be many other reasons as well.

Most of the time caused by unsecured pipes vibrating (pipe hammER or a faulty/sticking non-return, rather than the cartridge itself.
Because it lasts for 15–20 seconds rather than just a single "thud," it is a sustained vibration triggered by the sudden change in water flow and temperature. HOPE THIS HELPS
