Shower outlet part

I have recently broke the section of the shower outlet that lifts off for cleaning. It is chrome in appearance, but I think it is plastic.
I have inquired in builders providers and been told that I must buy the whole outlet part.

It seems such a small part to have to replace the lot and it is quite vulnerable to breaking again.

Does anybody know where I can get these parts. It was installed 13 years ago and I have 3 of them in my home.

Any help would be appreciated. I dislike throwing out parts when the small part seems should be available.

Would you have the make and model number of the shower and maybe a picture of the part?

Same thing just happened to me. Very old shower.
Hursts in castlebar looked up their old stock and found a complete unit.
Only charged 5€.
Suggest you shop around plumbing supply shops with part in hand.

Mastercare have been recommended on here multiple times for parts.

Hi Vandriver,
so kind of you to reply, I tried to attach a photo of the fitting but did not know how to do it.
Could I send it to your email address?
One part is made from chrome and the other part from white plastic.
I would be very grateful for your help.

Many thanks Browtal

You could upload it to a photo sharing site, and post a link to that here.
