Common shower & tap problems
Almost always a worn washer or cartridge, blocked further by scale.
Limescale build-up inside the valve, one of the most common jobs in this area.
Usually the thermostatic cartridge in the mixer needs replacing.
Mineral deposits clogging the nozzles — sometimes solved with a descale.
Worn seals inside the mixer body, needing a cartridge or full unit swap.
Could be a local mixing valve fault rather than the water heater itself.
Taps & showers in Riviera del Sol — what to expect
Hard water is the biggest reason taps and showers wear out faster here than in most places. Cartridges and washers pick up mineral deposits over months, which is why a tap that used to turn smoothly slowly gets stiffer, and a drip that starts small tends to get worse rather than better on its own.
We always use good-quality replacement parts. A cheap cartridge or washer in hard water conditions often fails again within months, so it ends up costing more in repeat call-outs than doing it properly the first time.

FAQ — shower & tap repair Riviera del Sol
Why has my tap gone stiff to turn?+
Limescale building up inside the valve over months or years. It's one of the most common calls we get here, and usually a quick fix once we're on site.
Fixed my tap once already and it's dripping again — why?+
Either the part used wasn't right for the water here, or scale has already damaged the new seal. We fit quality parts to make repairs actually last.
My shower won't hold a steady temperature. Fixable?+
Yes, almost always the thermostatic cartridge inside the mixer. A known, common fault with a straightforward fix.
Can you match my existing tap brand?+
Where we can, yes — send us a photo or the brand name and we'll match it or suggest a suitable replacement.
