Cleaning the shower head and the handle is a good idea before attempting to address the leaks. In addition, clearing away any accumulated minerals and residue could aid in clearing up some of the troubles with the shower. The shower head doesn’t need to be taken off at this time.
(In general, cleaning the shower head frequently is a good habit; try to remember to do it whenever you’re cleaning the rest of the bathroom.) Select an all-purpose bathroom cleanser free of harsh chemicals because these substances can harm shower head finishes and ruin nozzles.

To start, use a soft cloth and a cleanser to remove any residue from the shower head and handle. Spray the cleanser on the shower head after that and use a small toothbrush or nylon-bristled brush to clean the nozzle’s nooks and crannies. Check to see whether the problem is resolved by cleaning the shower head. If not, proceed to the following action.
Most plumbing fixtures may be repaired without shutting off the water supply to the entire house, however, a leaking shower Perth frequently lacks its own easily accessible shut-off valves. (However, if a shut-off valve is there in an access panel, utilize it.) If you don’t have an accessible shower shutoff, turn off the main water supply.
The water meter is often mounted on the wall of the lowest floor, usually a basement. The knob is typically a ball valve with a lever handle or a circular spigot. Turn the lever 90 degrees clockwise or the circular knob clockwise until you can no longer turn it. After that, proceed to a sink on the ground floor of the house and switch on the hot and cold-water faucets so that water in the pipes above can drain.
After making sure the shower’s water is turned off, cover the drain hole to stop any of the parts you’ll be taking out from dropping in. The shower head can then be removed by releasing the nut holding it to the shower arm. This step may prove to be more challenging than it appears to be for older showers. If the shower head is stuck, place a soft towel over it before releasing it with pliers. Without the cloth, the pliers’ force could harm the shower head’s polish.
It could be simpler to see why the spray isn’t as good as it formerly was now that the shower head has been removed. Hard water deposits may accumulate over time in the shower head’s holes, reducing the spray and pushing backed-up water to escape around the faceplate or through the connection between the shower head and arm. After soaking the shower head in white vinegar for an entire night to soften the mineral buildup, you can use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to scrub away any leftover buildup and remove the hard water deposits.

If you’ve discovered that the shower handle is dripping water, the shower arm-to-head seal may be the source of the issue. On a shower head, washers and O-rings create watertight seals between connections, but over time, they may harden or fracture, allowing water to flow out. Particularly vulnerable to this kind of leak are shower heads with swivel connections, which have a seal behind the swivel assembly. Replace the washer or O-ring in the shower head if you think the seal is worn out by removing and disassembling it.
