This question is regarding Gainsborough Royale Antique - Shower Spares

Gainsborough Royal Antique Chrome

Hello, I have just moved into a house which has this shower fitted so I am not aware of its history or how it has been installed. The water temperature does not get very hot, even on full. I don't know if this is because it relies on the temperature of the water from the combination boiler or if there is a thermostat in it which is not working effectively. Any help or advice you could offer would be appreciated, thanks.

Regarding the temperature fluctuation or cool running it could be a faulty cartridge however to check this, see if you can get hold of the hot supply pipe before it enters the shower or perhaps as it leaves the boiler.

 

If when holding this pipe the temperature fluctuates or goes cool then the problem is not with the shower but more likely with the boiler as the shower can only deliver what the boiler sends to it.        #

 

Disregard the temperature at the taps as they have a different flow rate.

If the water temperature is good as it comes to the valve for this valve you will need a service kit.
