Mend Triton 10.5kw Leak Pipe Shower

What has broken on my shower (Opal Triton 10.5kw)?

Underneath the shower casing is the flexible pipe to the shower head and behind that is a small soft rubber tube poking out about 1cm. Now when I switch the shower on, water comes out of the rubber tube instead of the shower. If I block the rubber tube then the water comes out of the shower head as usual.

Is this something fixable and if so - any ideas on what has happened? Responses appreciated!

There is a clear Rupper seal that needs to be replaced inside your shower, near to the point that the water is coming out of. this is a safety mechanism that acts when your shower head gets blocked or is not big enough to allow full flow through.
