Hi mark.
this is all i could find on the internet,if this is no good to you go to the link at the bottom and see if it helps you out.
First, feel the water leaking from the tub spout or shower head. If it's warm, you know that the leak is coming from the hot-water valve. If the water has been dripping for a while and it is cold, the leak is probably coming from the cold-water valve. 1Start by removing the faucet handle.22 Nov 2016

SOURCE: WATER DELIVERED FROM SHOWER HEAD NOT HOT ENOUGH

I think some shower valves have a safety setting to prevent burning. maybe you could adjust that to be hotter.

You need to pull and replace the cartridge on your shower valve most likely. It varies by Make and Model, but generally, remove the handle, remove any sleeve around the center spine, remove the round trim plate, close the service stops, remove the retaining clip or ring, and pull the cartridge straight out of the valve body by pulling on the spline... or get a cartridge puller. Then take your cartridge to the store and get a new one. Flush the valve body by slightly opening both service stops and then install the new cartridge and reverse the process.
Generally this problem occurs when sediment has torn part of the sealing o ring on the cartridge. If you send me the make/model and/or a picture I will give you the specific instructions

Keeps dripping

HI, if you have changed the tap washers and they still leak, then the taps need reseating (which can be done by a plumber who has reseating tool). All the best.

My shower is leaking and i have tried a new pipe with washers what else can i do

Did you use any teflon tape on the shower arms threads to seal it up. Also check and make sure fitting on shower head isn't cracked once tighten up onto shower arm it could have a crack in it and leaks. Plastic shower heads tend to crack when they are tighten to much.

Customer installed a kohler tub/shower faucet and it leaks out of the head. We've changed the cartridge but the results were the samr.a Any recommrndations?

If it leaks out of the shower head and not the faucet tap, then I would look into the scald guard setting or the selector lever or even for a small scratch around the cartridge.

Kohler shower hose leak

If the problem is solely because of the rubber washer with screen you can buy any cheap replica hose and use the washer that comes with it. If the issue goes away you are done. If not, switch heads and see if the issue follows the head. If it does then there would be a crack in the head at the connection. If neither solves the issue then you must buy a new hose.

Leak where Grohe shower head attached to the threaded pipe

Hello, Many shower heads have similar problems. (Very frustrating as you now know) The problem is the threads at the end of the (cheap plastic) shower neck are not flat. They are tapered (has an edge) - so it does not seat flush with the base of the shower head. Actually cuts around the rubber washer causing a leak.

What to do about it?

File the end of the neck some to create a flat surface. However, go slow. Be sure you can still screw on the shower head. Add a flat rubber washer in the shower head and plumbers tape on neck threads too.

Or Purchase a new shower neck that has a better design. The neck should unscrew from the front. Check and make sure you have an access behind the shower just in case you need to access the plumbing.

I replace the shower neck myself if there is an access.
