He’s cut both hot and cold for some reason

Thanks, it turns out the emergency plumber has cut the pipes and fitted push fit end stops under the bath.

I’ve been quoted 280 quid which sounds a lot to me

The thermostat on the cylinder is set at full, which is number 5. The maximum. There are numbers from 1 to 5 and it’s set at 5.

Our water meter readings are extremely high. It’s set on full

thanks for your answers, so an off cut of vinyl will definitely not work if fixed and sealed well?

Hi, I’ve got an ideal Mexico, big thing in the garage , I think there’s a problem with the cylinder at the moment as we are using a lot of water on the meter and our tap water isn’t hot. I’m wondering whether it’s worth switching to something more efficient rather than repairing what we have...

here’s a picture of it

Hi, I saw something very thin stuck to a wall round a shower today that looked like vinyl flooring. It was very thin, unlike shower panels. It seems quite a cheap / good idea. Has anyone come across this before? Thanks

Another thing is my wife insists the shower pressure is lower maybe I should get a pressure gauge?

I think the pipe is just blocked. I had some cowboy fascia fitters who cut the pipes flush because it looked neater. It felt like when I was pushing the hosepipe down it came to a hard stop.

Hi John, thanks for your message, I’m trying to limit the amount of times I go in the loft so I turned the stop tap inside the house off, the point was to see if the water level in the tank was going down so I thought it would have the same effect. I think the cylinder is around 20 years old...

Thanks, is it easier/ quicker to get the float valve repair kits or replace the float valves ?

Thanks, how do you know that? ( the water is turned off )
