 The replacement is fairly straight forward.

Turn of the water and power you then have to dismantle most of the inside of the shower to get enough space to slip the old part out and the new part in.

This sounds more difficult than it actually is, however you do have to be methodical noting where screws/nuts etc. come from and what goes where and it is always a good idea to take photos as you go because you can refer to them when you are rebuilding.

Also with the heating can replacement it is vital to make sure that the water entry spigot enters the flow valve absolutely straight or it may leak.

One of the tips our engineers use is to slip the old ‘O’ ring on as well as the new one so in effect you have a double ‘O’ ring this helps to keep everything lined up.
