Our shower is leaking. Bah. It's an Aqualisa Aquarian, installed by previous owners of the house, and basically only has one big part, "Cartridge body assembly thermostatic", 2 on the diagram below, which costs nearly as much as a complete shower. It leaked before, and was replaced under warranty, but I'm not sure whether that replacement resets the warranty or whether it's still five years from initial installation (in which case the warranty period is over). (The hose is also leaking, and a non-standard (Aqualisa only) part.)

And there aren't cutoff valves for it, only for it and the bath combined, and the bath. Bought some valves at Focus at lunchtime, but using them will require grubbling about under the bath (or some major rearrangement of the piping, which I'd rather avoid).
