Hudson Reed Shower Spares

Is your shower dripping? Or maybe the handle is so stiff you need two hands to turn it? It is super annoying. Most people call a plumber immediately. They see a bill for £150 just for showing up. But honestly, servicing a shower valve isn't rocket science. If you can build flat-pack furniture, you can probably change a cartridge.

You just need the right parts—specifically Hudson Reed Shower Spares—and a few basic tools. Before you start ripping tiles off the wall (please don't do that), here is the actual toolkit you need to get the job done.

The Magic Allen Key Set

First off, look at your shower handle. How is it held on? Usually, there is a tiny little "grub screw" hidden underneath or behind a small cap. You can't turn this with a normal screwdriver. You need a set of Allen keys (hex keys). If you lose this screw down the drain, you are in trouble. So, put the plug in the bath before you start. Trust me on this one.
