I've been having problems with my Bristan recessed shower and have traced the problem to the thermostatic cartridge. I've even obtained a replacement cartridge. The problem now is that I can't seem to get the existing cartridge out of the wall!!

I had performed this job as well. Basically, once you take the temperature control sleeve off, there is a large retaining nut keeping the cartridge in place. I bought the biggest spanner I could find in B&Q (36mm), but a 32mm one would do I reckon. You can just get enough purchase on this nut to get it off.

Are you sure the shbower is plumbed the right way round? Did you calibrate it properly.
Dazster
Yes, it's plumbed the right way. As for calibration - I inserted the cartridge as is, and then turned it to max before full re-assembly. How do you re-calibrate?

Dazster: Does the water start hot and then get colder or does it never get hot at all?
