    A shower valve does not work in the same way a set of taps does.

    It uses cartridges, not rubber washers.


    It was about £100 for a replacement cartridge for my shower. Instead I paid £3.99 on eBay for a set of rubber O-rings and silicone grease. It's been working as new for the past few years now.


    It's nearly always the rubber O-rings in the cartridge that fail. And it's a lot cheaper to replace them.
