sirrus duette shower

I have had my sirrus shower now for over 12years with one repair it was the switcher from shower to bath that was neeing replaced otherwise it has been a fantastic buy.

Now I have got a problem it is only pouring out cold water at high speed when I switch on the shower, but when I switch it over to the bath it runs hot.

What is the problem do I need an engineer or does it need serviced after all this time.

If so what would this cost me I am loathed to buy a new one at the moment but if it is looked at and the reccomendation is to buy another one then I would get one similar as I could not be more pleased with the performance of this up until now. I would be very much obliged to you if the Company can help in any way possible thanks,



Yours Sincerely

Yes I think it needs a strip down clean lube and a newservice kit fitted.

I am often asked “Is this a DIY job” to be honest I can’tanswer that, because without knowing someone, it isn’t possible to assess theirskills?

 

I should say that most jobs on showers although relativelyeasy (from my point of view) can be fiddly and an extra pair of hands, longthin fingers and the strength in your hands of an all in wrestler are a help!

 

The secret is, observing very carefully when thing are takento bits, their order and orientation, taking notes and/or photos as you go canalso be a help.

 

When you are working with electricity and water so make sure it is switched off and turned offbefore you start.

 

If you think you can do the job but aren’t just thatconfident, it may help to buy the part and compare it to the faulty part, youwill then be able to see where the screws, wires, nuts, or washers etc. go, ifthen you think it is to complicated, at least you will have the part when theplumber or electrician arrives.

 

We will always be here to offer help and advice if you runinto a problem, however it  is not thesame as being on site where we can get the overhaul picture, if you are stillnot sure, now is the time to call in a professional.
