hi all.can somebody help me?

we have an apartment in edremit,kyrenia and was wondering can some one help us?we have a bath/shower combination,the metal type lever that you lift up(hope you know what i mean)when lifted does not convert from the bath to the shower any more.Is it easy enough to replace or is it better to get a plumber in?

any replies would be grateful.

cheers dave(who is not very good at DIY)

hi dash70,doe,s your bath mixer tap have chrome swan neck unions on or is

it just a flat deck mixer.if you have the swan neck mixer you will find chrome

nuts that connect to the bath shower head of the unit,if so very easy to replace

turn off hot and cold water at the valves, check that you have turned off the water by turning on the bath mixer taps,i.e no water runs out of tap or stops

running. obtain new mixer taps or obtain these first. disconnect old mixer tap at the two chrome nuts on swan necks.align new b/s mixer and re connect to

the old chrome nuts,but dont forget to fit the fibre washers,when you tighten

up the chrome nuts,wrap tape or rag over the nuts to stop marking the

chrome nuts.job done.if you need to replace a flat deck mixer you will need to

remove the bath panel to gain access to the back nuts on the mixer taps

which hold the tap to the bath rim, in that case you will have to replace the whole unit.if in dought get a plumber in good luck
