I have a Mira Excel basic shower that was in the house when we bought
it over 5 years ago. The controls have got increasingly stiff to
operate and the water was very hit and miss when turning off as we have
to go through various combinations of turning the dials on full then
off then to the hot full on then the cold to get the water to stop
flowing out the shower head. Recently our tricks haven't worked and
even if we turn the bath and sink full on and then gradually off which
used to balance the pressure and stop the flow it now keeps running at
a constant flow.

Does anyone know what we should do? We are not confident DIYers but we
also are very strapped for cash at the moment but hate the fact that we
are wasting so much water especially when the country has a hose pipe
ban.

Any advice would be very gratefully received. I have emailed Mira and
await their reply but look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks
Victoria

You should have investigated it when you realised it was stiff and asked
about lubricating the controls.
