A question about : Replacing a ceramic cartridge on a manual shower?
Got a slight drip on a mixer shower just below the lever/handle. It's a Marflow Consort C72

I can take the cap off to see that there is a slight leak from the cartridge.
How much should something like this cost to get replaced by a plumber? Thanks
Best answers:
- Your best bet is to try The Shower Doctor (google them). I've used them a lot and will happily recommend them. However, your shower seems to be quite an obscure make so I wouldn't hold out too much hope of getting a replacement cartridge unless it's used in other makes of showers.
As for likely replacement costs . . . Assuming no problems, then it's a job that can usually be done in less than an hour. :-) - As an afterthought . . . . A replacement cartridge is usually the best part of Ј80 - Ј100 anyway, so why not just buy another complete shower & swap the cartridge? :-)
- It's not a concealed unit - it's exposed like this (if that helps anyone determine labour):-
