    Hi - I have a plumber booked in to look at this, but I would also like to understand myself what is causing the issue we have.

    Shower leaking at the hose where it meets the shower unit

    I've attempted to replace the shower hose from our Aqualisa Lumi electric shower unit. The new hose is badly leaking water out from the connection point and when I reattach the old hose it is now leaking too! Both have been tried with new washers and are as hand tight as they can go (wasn't a...

    Shower unit leaking from screw

    Hello, amateur DIYer here. My shower has recently started slowly dripping from the unit / bar, right where there is a screw fitting. (photos attached) My best guess is an internal washer has failed, but unsure whether this screw has any other purpose and shouldn't be removed? Would be...

    Leaking drain valve on Hot water cylinder. Advise please

    Hi All, I have a leaking drain valve off the CW inlet on a Range Cylinder. Am I right in thinking I have to empty the Cylinder below the CW inlet to change the valve?

    Leaking drain-off...

    Basic stuff for most of you no doubt but we all have our ignorances. This drain off is leaking (from the end of the bit water is meant to come out of when in operation). It's also basically pointless as I doubt you'd get a hose on it, although I suppose you could try tightening it into the...
