Recessed shower mixer not working

    Hey everyone,

    I have a shower mixer recessed in the wall not working. It is connected to a pump, I got that tested over the weekend and is working fine.

    I have called different plumbers and all are reluctant to attempt to fix it, are these things are a nightmare to repair?

    The switch to turn on the water is gone very stiff, i suspect that is where the issue is. From reading around, there is a cartridge I can possibly replace? Would appreciate any advice.

    The hard part is tracking down the parts. Have you any idea of the make & model of the shower? It might say Aqualisa on the bottom of the back plate but I can't be sure

    It says Aquatherm at the bottom of the plate. I haven’t been able to find any parts for that brand online.

    I'd imagine this is why you are having trouble getting any plumber interested in the job. Much as I hate them, the shower doctors in park west ind estate might be you best bet on sourcing a part. You might end up needing a new shower. If this is the case then I'd engage a good plumber rather than the shower doctor engineers

    Thanks for your advice. Care to say why you dislike the shower doctors?
