So inside the shower body, the tap will be a mixing valve . You can pop the cap off and the clips and see if you can adjust the nob /lever. Have you definitely got cold water to it still?@mchops and @MurielSnark re the shower: it’s like this but perhaps not this exact version.
I’ve spent the past half hour fannying around trying to work out how to take all of the background out instead of just googling the bloody shower.
And sorry for expecting everyone to be mindreaders
It’s heated by a gas combi boiler; just turn the water on and it heats up, and obviously I can control the heat on them (on all the taps in the house and in the bath) but on the shower it’s napalm or nothing.
Thanks! We’ve done this and there’s just not a single sign of cold water coming into it at all. Weirdly even when we’ve turned the water temp down on the boiler - though maybe I didn’t turn it down enough on the boiler so I might give that a try soon.So inside the shower body, the tap will be a mixing valve .

Thanks so much. I’ll try this, really appreciate the advice xxYou can just replace these in showers . You have to turn the water off to the shower. You'll have to get one fits yours, pretty standard tho.

Those little feet scurrying over the floor! Also the fact that their scientific name is 'Vombatidae' cracks me up. Du ist einer Vombat.Onwards, accompanied by a baby wombat!
I'm still on the first thread as I'm a latecomer to this. I always forget there will be a Tattle thread on stuff like this!Jesus H Christ. I took a couple of hours away from Tattle to watch a movie and there's 12 new pages on the Jay Slater thread. I'm going to ruin my eyesight on this.

Having a bad weekend. Complex situation with a mate on Friday / Sat. Someone who ignored me for ages till he was dumped, now is being very hard work and denying saying stuff, saying quite nasty things. I think I'm done being nice. And then work kicked off so I've just done 4 hours needlessly, and am expected to be available through tomorrow. Will have to get up early to get some exercise in, which is not attractive! Shall look for some panda videos before bed.
I’m obsessed with how aged Pekingese look like chain smoking old ladies. This is one of my favourite examplesProud winner of the World's Ugliest Dog competition is Pekingese Wild Thang. IMHO there's no such thing as an ugly dog, they're all just as their Dog God made them.

I’ve got a whole narrative for her. Her garden is absolutely immaculate and the grandkids love going to hers for tea because she makes chips in the deep fat fryer and lets them have a shandy on Christmas Day.
