Customer Service

Guarantee of Quality

Within the guarantee period we will resolve defects, free of

charge, by repairing or replacing parts or modules as we may

choose.

Not covered by this guarantee:

Damage or defects arising from incorrect installation, improper

use or lack of maintenance, including build-up of limescale.

After Sales Service

Mira Showers guarantee products against any defect of

materials or workmanship for one year from the date of

purchase.

What to do if something goes wrong

Should this not resolve the difficulty, simply contact our

Customer Services who will give every assistance, and if

necessary arrange for our service engineer to visit.

If later the performance of your shower declines,  consult this

manual  to see whether simple home maintenance is required.

Please call our Customer Services to talk the difficulty

through, request service under guarantee if applicable, or

take advantage of our comprehensive After-Sales service.

Payment should be made directly to the Service Engineer/

Agent, using Visa, Access or a cheque supported by a

banker’s card.

To validate the guarantee, please return your completed

registration card.

To be free of charge, service work must only be undertaken

by Mira Showers or our approved agents in Northern Ireland

and Republic of Ireland.

Service under this guarantee does not affect the expiry date.

The guarantee on any exchanged parts or product ends when

the normal product guarantee period expires.

Damage or defects if the product is taken apart, repaired or

modified by any person not authorised by Mira Showers or

our approved agents.

This guarantee is in addition to your statutory and other legal

rights.

Before using your shower

Please take the time to read and understand the operating

and safety instructions detailed in this manual.

If when you first use your shower it doesn’t function correctly,

first contact your installer to check that installation and

commissioning are satisfactory and in accordance with the

instructions in this manual. We are on-hand to offer you or

your installer any advice you may need.

Spare Parts

Our Customer Services Team is comprehensively trained

to provide every assistance you may need: help and

advice, spare parts or a service visit.

We maintain an extensive stock of spares, and aim to

have functional parts available for ten years from the date

of final manufacture of the product.
Spares can be purchased from approved stockists or

merchants (locations on request) or direct from Customer

Services.

Note! In the interests of safety, spares requiring exposure

to mains voltages can only be sent to competent persons.

Spares direct will normally be despatched within two

working days. Payment can be made by Visa or Access

at the time of ordering. Should payment by cheque be

preferred a pro-forma invoice will be sent.

Our Service Force is available to provide a quality service

at a reasonable cost. You will have the assurance of a Mira

trained engineer/agent, genuine Mira spares – and a 12

month guarantee on the repair.
