More than likely

How old is the shower?

From your pics it looks like one or both of the circlips need removing

I would consider swapping it from a new shower if its old though

Thanks plumbstar tom I thought as much but just really wanted to be sure. Not sure how old the shower is but will find out.

It looks like a Bristan/Heritage 1850 shower, if so then they will call out and repair it for £ 89.00, far cheaper than buying a new cart.
If you want to attempt it yourself take a look here 1850 Shower thermostatic cartridge maintenance and replacement
Does it say Bristan or Heritage on the ceramic indice on the temperature control?
If it does then seal it is an SK1850-1 or new cart an 1850-2.
Hope that helps.....
