My shower has this cylindrical tap which my father finds difficult to turn on and off due to the lack of grip and the fact that it rotates away or towards you. I wonder whether there's any adaptor that may help solve that issue or whether I need to get one built (either using a 3D printer or something else).

Looks like a regular thermostatic shower bar.

In which case you might be able to replace it with a lever handle. Won't look as pretty, but its only a couple of mins work"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52551351","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ifixit"},"datePublished":"2024-04-10T02:33:57.000Z","text":"It's pretty much the same as a tap head imo. Try removing the end cap from the shower and removing the grub screw that's holding the current head. Then maybe replace it with a tap head from eBay or Amazon. It will be just about getting a suitable version that has the correct splines."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52551619","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"yorkie12"},"datePublished":"2024-04-10T06:40:53.000Z","text":"I'd go to the local disability / mobility shop and see what they suggest. There are some ' Tap Turners' on Amazon but reported as being a bit flimsy, the good thing about Amazon is you can try them and if not suitable send them back. Many councils and health authorities also supply gadgets for disabled for free."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52552263","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"TristanDeCoonha"},"datePublished":"2024-04-10T08:59:12.000Z","text":"Is it his home, or rented?
