Hi,

I have recently moved in to a new home and upstairs is a bath with a tap mixer shower. However nobody knows how it works.

There is the tap then a pipe coming from the middle of the tap to a shower head on the wall. There is no button or switch of any kind and pulling it twisting doesn’t work.

It has almost come on a couple of times but again nobody knows how.

2 Plumbers looked at it and said they have never seen that type of tap and quoted for new ones.
I will attach the picture below.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this for me.

What movement of the lever causes water to come out the tap?
Is it to lift the lever similar ot Kitchen sink taps?
If so does it lift even higher after water is coming out of the tap to divert to the Shower head?

I'll assume twisting to the left and to the right is hotter or cooler.

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

The fittings below are for a mixer bar attached to a self contained shower. i.e not a wall. The attaching screws have snapped. I could get two new brackets, dismantle that existing one and start again or I could try and re attach via those screws, removing the broken ones from the plate and wall...
