mixer
A mixer, depending on the type, also called a hand mixer or stand mixer, is a kitchen device that uses a gear-driven mechanism to rotate a set of "beaters" in a bowl containing the food or liquids to be prepared by mixing them.
Mixers help automate the repetitive tasks of stirring, whisking or beating. When the beaters are replaced by a dough hook, a mixer may also be used to knead.
A mixer may be a handheld mechanism known as an eggbeater, a handheld motorized beater, or a drill mixer. Stand mixers vary in size from small counter top models for home use to large capacity commercial machines. Stand mixers create the mixing action by either rotating the mixing device vertically (planetary mixers), or by rotating the mixing container (spiral mixers).
Hi - my first post....
I have a Grohe Grohtherm 3000 (I think that's right but have posted pix for your thoughts).
It's been working well but now when I turn it to the bath symbol no water comes out of the tap. However the shower mode still works. Any advice please?
Hi
I have a swivel mono mixer tap on the sink which is leaking around the neck and I am wanting to have this replaced as it is over 10 years old.
As a pensioner I am looking for something that will be very reliable over the long term and easy to turn on and off (the current one has has old tap...
Hi, I am after a bit of advice on a leaking mixer tap in the kitchen.
Water is leaking from the area highlighted and varies with the amount of water pressure when using the taps, that might seem obvious, but I am not DIY minded :).
I have removed the mixer and replaced both O rings on the...
Hi!
Fitting a new shower and after some research I bought these fast fix brackets online (looked a lot more straight forward than the ones it came with. Crank something???) Anyway, after fitting it, the nuts don’t completely cover up the thread (photo attached). Is this normal? I was cautious...
Hi
We had a new kitchen mixer tap fitted back in October, it was highly rated on tool station and not a bad price.
I noticed yesterday that the part in between the tap handle and the body (in the photo) seems to have come off or something odd has happened so it’s showing the inside connections...
Hello good people.
I am trying to remove a cartridge from a Cooke and Lewis Berrow single lever mixer tap. I have removed the lever and the shroud which was a push fit not a threaded one. There is no securing nut to release the cartridge. Never seen this before. The cartridge must be held in...
I removed a bath from my sister in law’s bathroom about eight years ago. I cut back the hot and cold to the bath and branched off these to a new shower bar mixer. It worked fine until about two years ago when I fitted a new valve which has been fine until about two weeks ago when she said it...
The previous mixer tap developed a leak.
I ordered an exact replacement.
The hot &cold tails were too short so I had to replumb the water connections.
The new tap exhibited strange symptoms:-
In the fully open hot position no water flows.
The only way to get the hot to flow is to reduce the...
Could someone give me a heads-up as to the cost of a plumber to replace a thermostatic cartridge in a Bristan mixer bar shower. I have the cartridge, so the cost would be labour only. I live in Norfolk, so not London prices. I had a guy come round this morning quoting me £75 - this seems...
I have recently fitted a thermostatic external mixer shower in my bathroom. The problem is that when it is set to the highest possible temperature its only luke warm at best. The hot water in my house is generated from a combi boiler which should be able to deliver a hot water flowrate of...
We are renovating our upstairs bathrooms and there is an issue with shutting off the new mixer fittings - all six of them.
The matter is holding up progress though it seems no one knows what to do.
We built our home about 28 years ago. The only mixer we installed was in the kitchen, all the...

I installed a Bristan mixer bar shower about two and-a-half-years ago. I have recently noticed that immediately after the shower has been used, it drips from where temperature control knob turns. I attach a photo. The temperature control is on the right-hand side. The drips last for about...
I've searched the forums for an hour - not found anything specific on this question.

Ideal mini combi and non thermostat bath shower mixer.

The thermostatic cartridge in this shower has failed and I have no idea who the manufacturer is.
It is in the shower room of an Arab Prince's London House and he is ranting that he want's a shower and it is stuck on Hot !
Any suggestions ?
Hi all, our kitchen mixer tap is leaking from the base of the swan neck. I texted a plumber and he told me I new a new tap but I'd like to think there's hope as far as repairing it (it's less than 4 years old). I've tried to examine it myself (I'm just a homeowner) but I cannot see any of the...
Hi all,
I'm having problems with an old kitchen mixer tap.......the cold side is dripping from spout so I attempted to remove the brass cartridge to change rubber washers but for some reason after fully unscrewing it doesn't want to come out. Maybe something simple stopping it but I didn't...
Hi there,
I have a bath tap that is not producing hot water. Can anyone identify the mixer valve shown in the attached images? It does not look like anything I can find online. I have tried soaking the valve 'cartridge' in vinegar, which removed a lot of scale. If I constrict the cold water...
