Problems with a bath mixer tap?

Hi P,
I have fiddled with the collar but it doesnt come off, i cant see any screw or nut on the outside, and inside its just clear apart from a little spurt of water when i push collar down, although the water still is coming from the mixer bit for the shower, not out of the taps. I guess ill have to call a plumber though can see its probably not a big job, although the plumber wont see it that way..Many thanks for your help though

you need to see if the collar"will come off, it may screw off , or there may be a screw holding the collar on , all the collar is doing is open a way for the water to the taps or shower,and the bar that it pulls up is stuck, you need to get a pliers, and pull the bar thats under the collar up and down untill it works as normal, and then put the collar back on , have the cold tap running when your working on this, try this first,,
