    Hi during the cold spell my pipes froze outside and i had no water for a week, however since it has come back my shower has not worked .For the first few days the water pressure was very bad so i put it down to that but it has now improved and still no luck with the shower .The tank in the attic was emptied when the water was off but is now full and i did not try to use the shower when the water was off so don t think it could be air locked or the likes .Any advice greatly appreciated

    Is the shower working at all, i.e. is it making a sound but no water coming through?

    If it is, then the likelyhood is that it is airlocked. The most likely remedy is to turn off the power, and take the cover off the shower. Its held by two recessed screws at the top and two at the bottom.

    On the left hand side, where the water intake is, you'll see a black plastic bung. Remove it. It will have a strainer on top. Water should start to flow now. Replace the bung with the strainer. Replace the cover having made sure nothing has got wet.

    Hopefully you're sorted.

    Turn the shower to cold and run it for a couple of min's
