Thanks for the advice. Do those magnetic scale inhibitors really work? I've always been a bit suspicious of them. Incidentally could limescale be responsible for making my ceramic disc mixer tap drip. I've only had it for about 8 months so am a bit dissapointed.

Thanks, I forgot to mention in my original post that cleaning the handset was the first thing I did and unfortunately it didn't make any difference. It is as if the shower has lost some of its ability to heat the water but I don't know why. I can still use it, but its nowhere near as good as...
