Shower Repairs in London
Silver Saints repair thermostatic and mixer showers across London. Hot then cold, low pressure, dripping or leaking. Most faults are found and fixed in the first hour.
Experienced handymen we know, not an app of anonymous bidders.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. A typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
What we fix
London is one of the hardest water areas in the country, and scale inside the cartridge or the thermostatic cell is behind most shower faults here. We find the cause before we change anything.
Runs hot then cold
The classic thermostatic fault: a scaled or worn cartridge that can no longer hold temperature.
Scalding when a tap is run
The thermostatic cell has stopped compensating, which is a safety issue as well as a nuisance.
Stuck on the temperature stop
The override or maximum stop seized with scale, so you cannot get the heat you want.
Low or dropping pressure
Checked across the cartridge, the head and the feed, in that order, before anything is replaced.
A dripping shower
A shower that will not fully shut off, which is a worn cartridge or a perished seal.
A leaking valve or head
The leak found and stopped before it reaches the ceiling below.
Noisy or juddering
Knocking or juddering under load, usually pressure balance or a failing part.
A blocked shower head
Scaled up so the spray pattern has gone, descaled or replaced.
Replace a thermostatic valve
The exact cartridge or cell matched to the make and model, not a near-enough substitute.
We work on thermostatic, mixer and digital showers from Mira, Aqualisa, Grohe and Hansgrohe, bar and concealed valves, cartridges and thermostatic cells, hoses, heads and diverters, on both stored and combi hot water feeds. On a concealed valve we work through the trim wherever possible, so the tiling is not disturbed.
Got a different type of shower? We cover mixer shower repairs, electric shower repairs and power shower repairs on their own pages.
Different job? For water escaping at the tray see resealing baths and shower trays, for a leak you cannot find see sourcing and curing leaks, and for a new screen see bath and shower screen installation.
What it costs
Labour only, charged by time, plus parts. A common fault such as a worn thermostatic cartridge or a leaking seal is usually diagnosed inside the first 30 to 60 minutes, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. London sits in one of the hardest water areas in the country, which is the single biggest reason showers here need repair. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
No working shower is an urgent tenant complaint, and it is usually one worn part rather than a new shower.
A thermostatic shower that scalds when a tap is run is a safety item as well as a comfort one, and worth dealing with as soon as it is reported.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
Repair or replace, honestly
Most faults are a worn cartridge, cell or seal, and cost far less to put right than replacing the unit.
We descale where a part will recover and replace where it will not, matching the exact cartridge or valve to the make and model on site.
Where a shower is genuinely beyond economic repair we will say so plainly, rather than bill you for a part that will not last.

Shower repair FAQs
Can you repair my shower today in London?
Often yes. Silver Saints usually has same or next day slots for shower repair in London, and every booking carries a one-hour arrival window.
Why does my thermostatic shower run hot then cold?
Usually a worn or scaled thermostatic cartridge. Silver Saints descales or replaces it and checks the shower holds temperature when another outlet is run.
My shower scalds when someone runs a tap. Is that dangerous?
It can be. The thermostatic cell has stopped compensating, and Silver Saints replaces it so the shower protects against a sudden temperature swing.
How much does a shower repair cost in London?
Charged by time at £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 plus VAT thereafter, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
Why has my shower lost pressure?
It could be the cartridge, the head or the feed. Silver Saints checks all three in order rather than replacing parts on guesswork.
My shower drips and will not turn off. Can you fix it?
Yes. That is almost always a worn cartridge or a perished seal, and Silver Saints replaces it with the correct part for your make and model.
Are you a job-board app like the marketplaces?
We are not a job-board app. Unlike marketplaces that match your job to the cheapest available bidder, Silver Saints contracts its own team of experienced, vetted, multi-skilled tradespeople, people we know personally and work with directly. From booking to billing, you get one accountable service and a real relationship, not an anonymous login from a gig-economy pool.
Is it worth repairing a shower or replacing it?
Most faults are a worn part that costs far less to repair. Silver Saints will tell you plainly when a shower is beyond economic repair.
In summary
Silver Saints repair thermostatic and mixer showers across London. We fix temperatures that run hot then cold, showers that scald when a tap is run, seized temperature stops, low and dropping pressure, dripping and leaking valves and heads, noisy or juddering showers and blocked heads, and we replace cartridges, thermostatic cells and valves with the exact part for the make and model. London hard water is behind most of it. Labour is £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes, then £30 plus VAT thereafter, plus parts, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts. Saturday is the weekday rate and there is no call-out fee. Call 0207 0999 199 or book at https://bookings.silversaints.com.

Mixer Shower Repairs in London
A mixer shower blends hot and cold through a single valve. When it goes stiff, drips or will not hold temperature, it is nearly always the cartridge or the seals, hardened by London limescale.
Experienced handymen we know, not an app of anonymous bidders.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. A typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
What we fix on a mixer shower
Stiff controls, a weeping head and a temperature that will not settle all come back to the same few parts. We strip the valve and match the exact cartridge rather than guessing.
Stiff or grinding controls
A lever or knob that has seized with scale, freed off or the cartridge replaced.
A weeping head or spout
Water still running when it is off, which is a worn cartridge or perished O-rings.
Too hot or too cold
The cartridge can no longer balance the hot and cold supplies, so the mix drifts.
Scaled inlet filters
Grit and scale in the filters choking the flow, cleared as part of the service.
A scaled valve body
Descaled where it will recover, replaced where it will not.
Bar mixer service
Cartridge and inlet filters, the two usual service points on an exposed bar valve.
Concealed valve repair
Done through the trim wherever possible, so the tiling is not disturbed.
Perished O-rings and seals
Replaced as a set, so you are not back to the same drip in three months.
Diverter faults
Water going to the head and the spout at once, or refusing to switch between them.
We isolate the hot and cold supplies, strip the valve, descale or replace the cartridge and seals, check the inlet filters for grit and scale, then rebuild and test so the controls move freely and the temperature holds before we leave.
Mixer showers are common in London period conversions and mansion blocks fed from a stored hot water system, where balanced hot and cold pressures matter, and in modern flats running off a mains-pressure combi.
Not a mixer? See electric shower repairs, power shower repairs, or the main shower repairs page. This can be combined in one visit with resealing the bath or shower tray or replacing a worn tap.
What it costs
Labour only, charged by time, plus parts. A worn cartridge is usually diagnosed inside the first 30 to 60 minutes, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. Mixer showers turn up everywhere in London, on stored hot water in period conversions and mansion blocks and on mains-pressure combis in modern flats, and the cartridge is the usual failure point on both. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
A stiff or dripping mixer is a small repair that generates repeated tenant calls until it is dealt with properly.
We arrange access with your tenant or collect keys from your agent, so you do not need to attend.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
Why matching the cartridge matters
Every make and model takes its own cartridge, and a near-enough part is the reason a repair comes back.
We identify the valve on site and fit the matched part, which is the difference between a repair that lasts and a return visit.
On a concealed valve we work through the trim wherever possible, so your tiling stays where it is.
Why Silver Saints

Mixer shower FAQs
Why is my mixer shower dripping?
A worn cartridge or perished O-rings, hardened by London limescale. Silver Saints replaces them with the matched part for your make and model.
Why are my shower controls stiff?
Scale has built up inside the valve. Silver Saints strips it, descales or replaces the cartridge, and the controls move freely again.
Why will my mixer shower not hold temperature?
The cartridge can no longer balance the hot and cold supplies. Silver Saints replaces it and tests the shower against another outlet running.
Can you repair a concealed mixer valve without removing tiles?
Usually yes. Silver Saints works through the trim wherever possible, so the tiling is not disturbed on a London bathroom repair.
How much does a mixer shower repair cost in London?
Charged by time at £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 plus VAT thereafter, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
Do you carry the cartridge for my shower?
We identify the valve and fit the matched part. Tell us the make and model when you book so the right cartridge comes with the Saint.
Are you a job-board app like the marketplaces?
We are not a job-board app. Unlike marketplaces that match your job to the cheapest available bidder, Silver Saints contracts its own team of experienced, vetted, multi-skilled tradespeople, people we know personally and work with directly. From booking to billing, you get one accountable service and a real relationship, not an anonymous login from a gig-economy pool.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Silver Saints gives a 12-month guarantee on labour and on parts we supply for mixer shower repairs in London, against faulty workmanship or failed parts.

Silver Saints repair manual and thermostatic mixer showers across London. We free off stiff and grinding controls, cure weeping heads and spouts, fix temperatures that run too hot or too cold, clear scaled inlet filters, descale or replace cartridges, O-rings and seals, repair concealed valves through the trim, and fix faulty diverters. The valve is identified on site and the matched cartridge fitted, which is the difference between a lasting repair and a return visit.

Electric Shower Repairs in London
An electric shower heats mains water on demand, and in London hard water the element and tank scale up fast. That is the leading reason one stops heating, runs lukewarm or cuts out.
Experienced handymen we know, not an app of anonymous bidders.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. A typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
What we fix on an electric shower
Because the unit combines mains water and a high-current supply, the order matters: isolate both, test the element and the switching, then decide honestly between repair and replacement.
No hot water at all
A scaled or burnt-out heating element, the most common failure in London water.
Only lukewarm water
The element part-failed or heavily scaled, so it cannot reach temperature.
Tripping the electrics
Usually a failed element leaking to earth, found by testing rather than guesswork.
No water flow
A stuck solenoid valve, so the unit never lets water through to heat.
The unit will not fire up
A faulty microswitch, or a thermal cut-out that has operated and needs investigating.
Cutting out mid-shower
The thermal cut-out doing its job because something upstream of it has failed.
Scale damage
The element assembly replaced, and a scale reducer fitted so it does not repeat.
Beyond economic repair
Said plainly, rather than fitting an element into a tank that is already failing.
Like-for-like replacement
A new unit on the existing water and electrical supply where that is the sensible call.
We isolate the electrical supply at the pull-cord or consumer unit and isolate the water, test the element and the switching, then either replace the failed component with the correct part for that make and model, or advise replacement where the unit is old or the casing is failing.
Electric showers are especially common in London flats and rentals with no stored hot water, and in conversions where a separate electric shower was added to a bathroom. Hard-water scale is the recurring enemy in every borough.
Replacing the unit, or work on the electrical side? See electric shower rescue, where a new shower is supplied and fitted for a fixed price, and switch and isolator repairs. Not an electric shower? See mixer, power or the main shower repairs page.
What it costs
Labour only, charged by time, plus parts. Testing and diagnosis usually takes the first 30 to 60 minutes, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. London is one of the hardest water areas in the country, so scaled elements and tripping units are the faults we see most. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
Electric showers are the norm in London rentals with no stored hot water, and no hot shower is an urgent tenant complaint.
We arrange access with your tenant or collect keys from your agent, so you do not need to attend.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
Repair or replace, honestly
Fitting a new element into a tank that is already failing is money wasted, and we will not do it quietly.
The unit is tested before any decision, and where it is beyond economic repair we say so plainly.
Where replacement is the right call, a new shower is supplied and fitted for a fixed £299 plus VAT on the existing cable and pipe positions.
Why Silver Saints
We are a managed service, not a bidding app: every Saint is a vetted professional we know personally, not a login on a marketplace.
Electric shower FAQs
Why has my electric shower stopped heating?
Usually a scaled or failed heater element. Silver Saints tests the unit before advising whether a repair or a replacement is the sensible option.
Why does my electric shower trip the electrics?
Typically a failed element leaking to earth. Silver Saints isolates the supply, tests the element and switching, and replaces the failed part.
Why is there no water coming through?
Often a stuck solenoid valve, so the unit never lets water through to heat. Silver Saints tests the solenoid and microswitch before replacing anything.
How much does an electric shower repair cost in London?
Charged by time at £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 plus VAT thereafter, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
Should I repair or replace my electric shower?
If the unit is old or heavily scaled, replacement is usually better value. Silver Saints supplies and fits a new electric shower for £299 plus VAT.
Can you stop it scaling up again?
Largely, yes. Silver Saints fits a scale reducer on the feed, which is worth doing in London water when an element has already failed once.
Are you a job-board app like the marketplaces?
We are not a job-board app. Unlike marketplaces that match your job to the cheapest available bidder, Silver Saints contracts its own team of experienced, vetted, multi-skilled tradespeople, people we know personally and work with directly. From booking to billing, you get one accountable service and a real relationship, not an anonymous login from a gig-economy pool.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Silver Saints gives a 12-month guarantee on labour and on parts we supply for electric shower repairs in London, against faulty workmanship or failed parts.
In summary
Silver Saints repair electric showers across London. We fix units with no hot water, lukewarm water, no flow, units that trip the electrics or will not fire up, and units cutting out mid-shower, testing the heater element, solenoid, microswitch and thermal cut-out before deciding anything. Both the electrical supply and the water are isolated before testing. Scale is the usual cause in London water, so we replace the element assembly and can fit a scale reducer. Where a unit is beyond economic repair we say so plainly, and a new shower is supplied and fitted for a fixed £299 plus VAT. Labour is £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes, then £30 plus VAT thereafter, plus parts. Call 0207 0999 199 or book at https://bookings.silversaints.com.

Power Shower Repairs in London
A power shower pumps a gravity-fed supply, so most faults are the feed or the pump rather than the controls. We check the cheap causes first and only condemn a pump once the rest is ruled out.
Experienced handymen we know, not an app of anonymous bidders.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. A typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
What we fix on a power shower
We diagnose in a set order: feed, airlock, impeller, motor, then electrical supply. An airlock is the most frequent and cheapest cause, so it gets checked before anything is replaced.
Sudden loss of pressure
Flow that has dropped off, checked at the feed before the pump is blamed.
An airlock in the feed
The commonest and cheapest cause, usually after a loft tank has run low.
A grinding or humming pump
A worn impeller making itself heard under load.
A pump that rattles
Mounting, pipework or a failing bearing, identified rather than guessed at.
A shower that will not start
A seized pump, or a pump that has lost its electrical supply.
A failed flow switch
The switch that tells the pump to run, so nothing happens when you turn the shower on.
An unbalanced gravity feed
Hot and cold not arriving evenly from the tank and cylinder.
Pump replacement
A matched replacement fitted, primed and tested, only once the feed is ruled out.
Testing before we leave
Pressure restored and the pump running quietly, checked in front of you.
Because a power shower depends on a balanced gravity feed from a loft tank and cylinder, the first checks are the feed and any airlock. If the feed is sound, we test the pump for a worn impeller or a failed motor and check the fused supply and the flow switch. Where the pump is genuinely worn out, a matched replacement is fitted, primed and tested.
Power showers are most common in London period conversions and mansion blocks on a traditional tank-and-cylinder system, which is exactly where airlocks and pump wear appear, and far less common in mains-pressure new-build flats.
Not a power shower? See mixer, electric or the main shower repairs page. This can be combined in one visit with sourcing and curing a leak or resealing the bath or shower tray.
What it costs
Labour only, charged by time, plus parts. Clearing an airlock is often the whole job, so plenty of power shower calls are settled inside the first hour at £90 plus VAT.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. Power showers cluster in period conversions and mansion blocks in Camden, Islington, Hackney, Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and Kensington and Chelsea, where loft tanks and cylinders are still the norm. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
A power shower that has lost pressure is often an airlock, not a new pump, so it is worth having it diagnosed properly before approving a replacement.
We arrange access with your tenant or collect keys from your agent, so you do not need to attend.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
Why we check the feed first
A pump is the expensive part, so it is the last thing we condemn, not the first.
Most lost-pressure calls in London conversions are an airlock drawn in after a loft tank ran low, which costs a fraction of a pump to put right.
Only when the feed is sound do we test the impeller, the motor, the fused supply and the flow switch, in that order.
Why Silver Saints
We are a managed service, not a bidding app: every Saint is a vetted professional we know personally, not a login on a marketplace.
Power shower FAQs
Why has my power shower lost pressure?
Usually an airlock, a worn pump impeller or a seized motor. Silver Saints checks the feed and clears any airlock before testing the pump.
Why is my shower pump so noisy?
Grinding, humming or rattling usually means a worn impeller or a failing bearing. Silver Saints tests the pump before deciding it needs replacing.
What is an airlock and why does it happen?
Air drawn into the feed, usually after a loft tank has run low. It is the most common and cheapest power shower fault to put right.
My power shower will not start at all. Why?
The pump has seized, lost its electrical supply, or the flow switch has failed. Silver Saints checks the fused supply and the switch as part of the diagnosis.
How much does a power shower repair cost in London?
Charged by time at £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 plus VAT thereafter, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
Will you replace the pump straight away?
No. Silver Saints rules out the feed and any airlock first, because the pump is the expensive part and often is not the fault at all.
Are you a job-board app like the marketplaces?
We are not a job-board app. Unlike marketplaces that match your job to the cheapest available bidder, Silver Saints contracts its own team of experienced, vetted, multi-skilled tradespeople, people we know personally and work with directly. From booking to billing, you get one accountable service and a real relationship, not an anonymous login from a gig-economy pool.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Silver Saints gives a 12-month guarantee on labour and on parts we supply for power shower repairs in London, against faulty workmanship or failed parts.
In summary
Silver Saints repair power showers across London. We diagnose in order of feed, airlock, impeller, motor and electrical supply, clear airlocks drawn in after a loft tank has run low, test pumps for a worn impeller or seized motor, check the fused supply and the flow switch, rebalance an uneven gravity feed, and fit a matched replacement pump where the old one is genuinely worn out, primed and tested before we leave. The pump is the expensive part, so it is the last thing we condemn. Labour is £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes, then £30 plus VAT thereafter, plus parts, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts. Saturday is the weekday rate and there is no call-out fee. Call 0207 0999 199 or book at https://bookings.silversaints.com.
