We have a chrome finished shower spray on the end of a flexi hose. I think
it was from Sainsbury's or Homebase. One setting is supposed to give a
pulsating spray - now it doesn't and some water leaks from the outer ring
of holes.

I wish I could just get inside it to see if I can fix anything - but it
seems to have no means of dismantling. I suppose the plate with the spray
holes might prize out - but it doesn't seem willing - and needs to resist
the water pressure so must be held firmly.

I suppose I may have to replace it unless anyone can offer a suggestion to
my vague discription of it

If it's one of those ones where you turn the head for different spray
patterns, it is normal to turn it even further (anti-clockwise if you're
looking at the spray side) to allow the head to come off.

Or soak in vinegar?

The one I have the centre section of the spray head twists out. That is,
the bit with the holes is three concentric rings, the central one has a
couple of slots, put a small screwdriver or similar in the slot so as to
be able to turn the part (anti-clockwise I think) and it will come out.
It is then possible to remove the other bits and clean the pulsating bit.

Made it worse! Suspect a seal is a bit knackered.Turned it about 90
degrees but it didn't come apart.

Yes, and normally the problems are becuase its lime scaled up and jams.
The rotating bit that is inside.
Rubbish.

In the bin - I think a seal got chewed as I tried to dismantle it. I still
had my original adjustable Mira head (which lacked the pulsation feature).
