After many years of trouble free use this particular Bristan shower valve was exhibiting two faults. A) Intermittently drifting in temperature from hot to cold. If the tenants had been Finnish they might have thought of this as advantageous!
B) In use water
leaked from its innards and down the face of the tiles. The worry
for our Customer being, was any water from this source penetrating
behind the tiles and causing unseen damage to the plasterboard wall
etc.
Our first concern was
to identify what shower model it was and this was achieved with the
helpful advice of our Bristan contact.
A new Seals Kit and Cartridge from the Bristan Java Range was ordered and these duly arrived with our client.
We arranged with our Customer to collect the new parts from her office workplace and traveled to the job address to complete the repair that same day.
The Original Installer had
fitted the valve slightly too far into the wall which gave us a bit
of grief but the final result was perfect.
Valve no longer
leaking and temperature rock steady to suit us mere Ulster people.
Note to self: Contact Bristan with an idea how to sell their showers
in Finland.
