Was wondering if anyone can help, I have a shower mixer tap on my bath but recently the knob you pull to divert to bath will not stay up which means can't shower. When I pull it up and hold it that way the water comes out perfectly fine just won't stay that way.

Does anyone know of a solution or do I need to get a plumber which I am somewhat loathe to do as I plan on getting a new bathroom in a couple of months.

Any advice appreciated

BTW tap is Hansgrohe single lever bath & shower mixer for exposed installation if that's of any value

Diverter valves stay up on pressure, so is there anything lowering your water pressure - washing machine on at the same time, for example? If not might just be a case of a leaky washer which is easily replaced, or as you're not planning to keep the tap long term you could do what we did in a previous flat when the landlord was dilatory in making repairs, just pull out the knob then gaffer tape a small piece of metal to it to stop it dropping back.


Worth having a good look round to check if there are leaks elsewhere which have lowered your water pressure though - lavatory cistern, garden taps etc.

Outside my knowledge that I'm afraid, changing anything to do with the boiler makes me nervous!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
