I have tried getting a plumber out to come have a look at it but so far been unsuccessful getting one out, probably as job too small.
Our shower is a mira gem 88 and the pressure is amazing on it, would rather fix it.
Anyone with experience able to assist whether it is fixable or will need to be replaced?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51418204","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"hoorah91"},"datePublished":"2023-11-12T15:33:57.000Z","text":"
Cheers everyone for the help so far. Right I've got the front off and got it down to this bit. Trouble is when I start unscrewing, water starts coming out of the shower, anyone know how I would isolate this? Thanks"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51417728","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jameshothothot"},"datePublished":"2023-11-12T14:27:44.000Z","text":"i had a similar problem - was able to change hot water setting on my boiler until it got fixed."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51417979","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"psychobitchfromhell"},"datePublished":"2023-11-12T15:03:41.000Z","text":"Mine did the exact opposite in that it stayed cold.

You might be twisting your knob but it might not be turning the plastic inside.
Are you in a hard water area? Perhaps limescale is an issue. Take it off and run some descaler through it. Something that should be done once in a while anyway, as a preventive measure"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51417798","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"AndyRoyd"},"datePublished":"2023-11-12T14:36:43.000Z","text":"Temperature pointer should \"just\" come off with semi-aggressive pull / gentle assistance levering between temperature ring.
