Gainsborough replacement engine

Had bought a new shower head which wasn't suitable for the electric shower. Caused a forced leak. Went onto the Gainsborough website, ordered new engine. Received promptly, well packaged. Working perfectly again with original head.

Product good

Product good. But had to enquire why my 2-3 day delivery hadn’t been dispatched after 5 days. I think my order has fallen through a crack somewhere. It was rectified quickly once I had spoken to someone though.

Quality spare parts that work.

I had bought a shower head on line to replace my old one. The description said nothing about the shower head's compatibility with electric showers, it was not compatible. I replaced the pressure valve a couple of times with new ones quickly sent by Gainsborough. This month I had had enough and not only bought a new pressure valve, but also a new Gainsborough shower head. My order arrived in a couple of days and less than an hour later my problem was solved. I can thoroughly recommend Gainsborough for its service and the quality of its products
