I have a Bristan thermostatic shower mixer, which is only giving out a
meagre amount of not very hot water. I suspect that it has got furred up
inside. Is it possible to do anything about that, short of buying a new one?

Also, I have not been able to find any isolation valves. I take it that
these mixers don't have automatic valves in them that shut off the water if
the central hub part is removed for servicing?

Here for the spares:

It may have a cartridge assembly that needs replacing, though it could
be just limescaled up.

Thats right, no isolation valves inside the unit.
With the water off, it'd be a good time to fit new iso valves. Get the
full bore version for showers, not the cheaper one that restricts flow.

Thanks - both answers are brilliant!
