Hi all - I am new to this but I hope you can help me a little.
We have an old cast iron bath with the mixer tap with a valve to divert the water to the shower head. A traditional style one - two taps connecting in the centre to the shower diverter valve & then to one central spout.
This morning my girlfriend said this valve felt funny & now hardly any water comes out of the shower when switched to shower, but mainly from the tap.
I took off the valve handle & front of the valve & can see a plastic [?nylon] valve part that moves up & down freely & does not appear broken. Does the main plastic valve come out by taking off the tap spout or is it not replacable?
I also took the shower hose connection off & can see another small plastic part that fits into the bottom of the shower pipe with a spring loaded plunger in it. Is it this part that has failed maybe? Nothing looks wrong... Is it a filter?
Any good ideas please?
