Hi,
Recently I have noticed that my bathwater is only lukewarm. For the rest of the flat i.e. kitchen tap and the bathroom sink tap the water is warm.
I read the following article and it made me think maybe the faucet is calcified as the flat has now been in use for 10 years and here in London the water is hard.

So I was thinking I should disassemble the bathroom faucet and clean it to see if that makes a difference.
The problem I have is twofold
1) whether I have correctly diagnosed what is wrong.
2) knowing how to dismantle it. I have cleaned all three tap aerators today and found all to have some grit especially the bathroom sink tap so I think that will help a little but I am hoping to dismantle the faucet, clear out some grit in the bath faucet and get everything working fine again.
I have enclosed a photo to help explain my problem.
Also out of curiosity what is the purpose of the button on the right hand side?
All help is much appreciated.
