Bullfinch external shower leaking (1 Viewer)

My Bullfinch external shower has starred to leak from the mixer unit.

It doesn't leak when the hose is connected so I guess is some internal washer that I can't access. Anyone know if it is possible to buy just the mixer unit rather than the whole lot including the shower hose for £60+ ?

Hi, did you ever manage to get this sorted or did you end up replacing the unit? Mine is leaking from the front with the shower hose attached. I see they sell the unit without the shower head but it's still £43.00+VAT (£51.60)

I ended up replacing it I'm afraid. I did look to see if I could just replace a washer or O ring but had no luck there.

No problem, thanks for the reply. I took mine apart yesterday and noticed the mixer unit wasn't actually screwed up properly to the face plate, one of the screws had been slightly cross threaded and hence the valve wasn't sitting square to the plate. We'll see if that's done the trick next time I fill the water and give it a try, if not I'll just get a replacement unit.
We've only had the van a week and I don't think the original owner ever used that shower point in the 11 years he had the van!
Thanks Again
