How to Replace the Shroud Kit on a Mira Response 3 (UK)
UK guide to swapping the shroud kit in a Mira Response 3 shower valve. TMV2 compliance, part numbers, tools.
Mira
The part
Replace the concealing plate and shroud on the Mira Response 3 where limescale has locked the temperature handle.
Isolate
Undo the two handle grub screws (2.5 mm hex on most Mira models). Lift the shroud off — do not lever, it cracks.
Swap the shroud kit
Fit new O-rings between the wall plate and shroud to keep the IP54 rating.
Commission
Balance hot and cold to within 0.5 bar. Run the Mira Response 3 at max flow for 3 minutes.
Verify max outlet temperature stays below 46 °C per BS EN 1111 by shutting off cold and reading the outlet.
Frequently asked questions
- Chrome or brushed?
- The Mira Response 3 kit ships in polished chrome as standard. Brushed finishes carry a -BR suffix.
- Wall plate offset?
- 10–35 mm adjustment on Mira concealed valves — use the shroud packer to hide any tile mismatch.
- OEM or aftermarket for Mira?
- For TMV2/TMV3 compliance always fit genuine Mira cartridges. Aftermarket voids the Response 3 approval.
