Hi, I'm new and having real problems with my shower. When we moved in, we didn't have one, so we changed the taps on the bath and got mixer taps, and attached the shower head above the bath.
So far, so good. But unfortunately, whilst the cold water pressure is fine, the hot dies as soon as the cold water tap is on even a little bit, so we have real problems adjusting the cold water by millimeters so as to have a hot shower. And then it's either scorching hot, or luke warm.
We've lived with this for a year now, but now we've had enough!
We're as poor as church mice here, so we can't go for expensive solutions, but I was wondering if there was a solution to equalise the pressure a little.
I can't afford to bring electricity to the bathroom from the mains, as that will require an electrician.
We have a storage tank in the loft and an old boiler at ground level. The bathroom is on the second floor of our 2 up 2 down terrace.
Can anybody please please help? No plumbers will even consider giving me advice in this area, because they have lots of nice expensive jobs to do. Thanks to anybody who can advise.
