    Recently moved to another accommodation.
    When opening shower mixer it only goes to the shower and doesn’t come towards the tap.
    Also water keeps on leaking from this junction.
    I have not seen such a mixer before. How do I make it go to the tap and how do I fix this leakage?
    See the picture.
    Thank you

    Most likely the shower hose hasn't got a washer or needs a new one. Just below where the shower hose screws into the mixer set is a diverter. Try pulling this up or down

    I've gone one exactly like that. You have to push the base of the hose into the tap or pull it up to change the direction of water.
    I think pulling it out runs the water to the tap.

    Used to have the same one myself. Just pull up on the section the arrow points to in the photo. It slides up to divert the water to the hose and then back down for the bath.
    Don't be afraid to give it a bit of muscle they can be very stiff at times.
