Common Shower Faults We Fix

The fault, and the fix, usually depends on what type of shower you've got. Electric showers most often fail at the heating element or the internal thermostat — you'll typically get cold water, a shower that trips the electrics, or one that simply won't switch on, and because the unit is sealed we carry the common element and PCB sizes on the van for a same-visit repair. Mixer showers (fed from both hot and cold supplies) tend to develop temperature fluctuation or pressure problems as the thermostatic cartridge wears, and power showers — which use a pump to boost pressure from a low-pressure system or gravity tank — usually fail at the pump itself or its diverter valve. Diagnosing which of these you actually have is most of the job before any parts get replaced.

Low pressure is one of the most common calls we get as a bathroom plumber near you, and the cause varies a lot depending on which part of Edinburgh you're in. Older tenement flats on a combi boiler or a gravity-fed tank in the loft can struggle for pressure at the top of a stair, while newer developments on a mains-pressure unvented cylinder rarely have the same issue — a limescale build-up in the shower head or a partially closed isolation valve is often the real culprit rather than the property's water supply itself. Thermostatic cartridge failure is the other frequent job: when a shower starts running unpredictably hot or cold, the cartridge that blends the two supplies has usually worn out and needs replacing rather than the whole valve body.

As a local plumber near you, we'll always give an honest view on repair versus replacement — if your shower is more than a decade old and the part needed is a significant chunk of the cost of a new unit, we'll say so rather than fit an expensive part into an ageing shell.
