Strange Bath tap problem . . . .

[paganpete]

Hi all, new to the site - got a strange problem I think!

For the last few days the bath tap has been running at a trickle - what I mean is that when it is first turned on the water comes out really fast as it used to - UNTIL the water starts to warm up - then it gradually slows to a red hot trickle after about 30 seconds - I have a combi boiler in the kitchen next door to bathroom which provides hot water (Kitchen and bathroom basin tap still run hot as they used to - nice flow)- just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and has any idea what is up with it?

Many thanks

It is simply a split tap washer and at worst the jumper has become detached. Isolate the water supply and remove the tap body. Take it to an independent plumbers merchant who will help you with what parts you need. At worst a tap body kit will cost about 15 quid.
