Hi - we have a Worcester Bosch greenstar boiler and have piping hot water everywhere (inc bathroom sink) except our bath taps and wall mounted shower (mixer). Any ideas? Pressure on boiler all fine. Landlord is useless and taking far too long to fix. I'm pregnant and having to strip wash at the bathroom sink. Help!
No hot water to bath or shower - please help a pregnant lady

Can only be a faulty tap, keep phoning your landlord.

Just a few questions.
How long have you lived there?
how long has the problem been present?
what exact model greenstar is it?
The first question might not seem relevant but it could be.

Have you ever had a combi before?
The incoming temperature of the main determines the flowrate of hot water from the boiler, for example when you moved in 6 months ago incoming water would have been warmer so the flow rate of the boiler would have been higher, but in the winter it is much colder so the flow rate of the boiler isnt great especially on an outlet with highflow like a bathtap.
In other words the amount of water coming out of your bathtap might be more than the boiler can handle, try opening the tap up slowly until you get a decent constant temp and see if that works.

As said it's not the boiler if you've got hot water everywhere else.
When you say wall mounted shower mixer do you mean a seperate one from the bath tap or one of those mixer taps with a shower attachment?
Whatever, tell the landlord to get it fixed, or get someone in and take it out of his rent money.

We seem to get hot water if not turned on full. However the shower makes weird noises likes it might come off the wall and it'll take forever to fill the bath at the rate the hot comes out! Will call a plumber tomorrow myself.
