When I turn on electric shower water tank drains until it is empty. Then suddenly shower dries up but motor keeps running not pumping any water out. Problem is ballcock won't kick in and start re-filling tank. If I reach in and give ballcock a nudge it starts filling again. Desperate - how do I fix....!!????!!! 10 points if it works........

When the tank gets low the ball-**** should drop and allow the water to flow in. If it is stuck up you need to take the ball and lever out ,after turning off the water, then check for free movement and the state of the small washer inside the part where the water enters. The washers are easily obtainable in a hardware shop.

Modern ballcocks can be adjusted by screwing them so that the ball will rise earlier...I think (I've had a drop of wine and it's been a while since I played with a ball, ****, but that's based on a genuine memory).

TRY LOOKING FOR AN ADJUSTMENT, LIKE SEEING IF THE FLOAT CAN BE TURNED OUT,OR MYBE TRY TO CLEAN ANY SCUM OR HARDWARTER BUILD-UP OF BALLCOCK.

I have a problem with my ballcock as well. It hurts when I pee.

It is likely that some hard water deposits are causing it to hang up. You might be able to use some CLR or fine sandpaper to loosen it up.
