Leaking Shower Valve All aspects of plumbing questions and answers, help, tips and information

[max101]

Hi

We have a Grohe shower valve and its leaking fron the bottom of the valve itself. It only leaks when the shower is running but it's quite a bit of water making the shower pressure poor.

Should I have a look inside it or do I need a plumber???

Thanks for any help.

Come on guys, someone must know what the problem is??? You always do...

Grohe make many different types of valve so without knowing what type you have makes it difficult to be helpful without typing a book.

Grohe are good showers so this is an uncommon problem. I assume you have checked the shower hose is tight and has a washer fitted?? That is of course assuming yours has a shower hose??
