Shower Repair in Cheshire

Common shower faults we repair

• Electric shower tripping the breaker or not heating
• Mixer shower running cold or fluctuating between hot and cold
• Power shower losing pressure or making excessive noise
• Diverter valve stuck, meaning water won't switch between shower and bath taps
• Shower head or hose leaking at the connection
• Thermostatic cartridge worn out, causing temperature swings
• Shower tray leaking at the waste connection, often mistaken for a unit fault

The role hard water plays

Cheshire has hard water across most of the areas we cover, which means limescale buildup inside shower valves and heads is a genuine factor in a lot of the repairs we do, particularly around Macclesfield and the wider Knutsford area. If your shower has slowed down gradually rather than failed suddenly, limescale is often the cause, and it's usually a quick and affordable fix rather than something that needs a full replacement.

When repair makes more sense than replacement

Most showers under five years old with a single identifiable fault are worth repairing. Once a unit is older and starting to show multiple issues at once, like a worn heating element alongside a failing thermostat, replacement often becomes the better value option since you'd otherwise be paying for repairs piecemeal on a unit that's reaching the end of its life anyway. We'll always give you the honest comparison rather than pushing whichever option suits us.
