couple, us we him her.

Shower valve?

Can you explain a bit more.

As said above if it's a thermostatic one, sometimes you can replace the cartridge, but need a degree in engineering to do it if it's a bristan.

Usually end up replacement shower, but they can run into the hundreds.

Make and type would help
