Shower repairs & replacement

Make shower repairs easier to plan with clear information about the fitting, water supply and fault. Corva can assess mixer shower plumbing, replacement options and work needed as part of a bathroom project.

Start with the type of shower

An electric shower, a mixer supplied by a boiler and a pumped system need different checks. Send the make and model and explain whether the problem affects temperature, flow or a visible leak. Electrical faults and any electrical installation work require the appropriate competence and a separately agreed scope.

A compatible replacement matters

The existing pipe centres, wall depth and hot-water system influence which fitting will work. A concealed valve may need tile removal to change its body. Replacing the visible trim alone is only an option when the manufacturer confirms compatibility with the installed valve.

Protect the wider bathroom finish

Shower leaks can involve pipe connections, waste fittings, trays or surrounding finishes. Identify what will be investigated and whether waterproofing, resealing, tiling or access-panel work is included. We can quote for the agreed plumbing and explain where another trade is needed.

Good to know

Shower repairs & replacement: your questions

Clear answers before you arrange the next step.

Can I choose any mixer shower?

No. The fitting must suit your hot-water system, pressure and pipe arrangement. Send the specification before purchasing.

Can you replace a shower without disturbing tiles?

Sometimes, when connections and access are compatible. Concealed components may require opening the wall; this must be assessed first.

Should I keep using a shower that runs dangerously hot?

Stop using it and arrange professional assessment. Do not attempt internal adjustments or dismantling based on online advice.
