Ts 1850 antique

Shower drips continuously. I would like to fit new seals, but can't disassemble the valve. I have removed the temperature control knob and the handle of the shut-off but can get no further. Can you please give me further instructions?

Hi Wend and thanks for your enquiry with the shower doctor,

The shower in your image is the Gummers 1850 Antique exposed shower. From what you are saying your shower needs to be serviced with the seal kit SK1850-1.

Your shower can be serviced and will almost definitely only need new seals fitting to the cartridge if you want to save yourself money.

This type of brass cartridges will need serviced every now and then normally when they start playing up with any of the following symptoms.

If you are experiencing the following problems the seal kit will solve these issues and is the cheapest solution.

Dripping when switched off

Shower valve stiff to operate

Shower temperature fluctuating hot & cold

Water leaking through the front of the cartridge

So i would suggest either fitting another seal kit to the cartridge or replacing the actual cartridge internally.

This shower and the spares diagram can be found via this link provided - www.showerdoc.com/sirrus-ts-1850-antique-shower-spares

You can buy the cartridge SK1850-2 which is what is in your image or you can service the shower cartridge with a seal kit on the same page as part number SK1850-1 - The seal kit is the cheapest way of repairing your shower and the cartridge / internals is the most expensive.

A new replacement shower can also be found to the right of the spares diagram via the above link.

You will also find instructional videos on the seal kit page on how to service your shower or replace the cartridge.

Kind Regards
