Help, completly replaced shower and still only get hot water when heating / boiler is on. Otherwise you have to turn tap on upstairs and you get a small amount of hot water then cold, until you turn tap on again etc. Not good at 6 am when trying to have a shower before work.

I had some radiators replaced last year to bigger ones and a new one, could this be afecting the flow ?
 
We had a showerforce ahower and we replaced the shower head then the pipe, and rail, then we had a completly new thermostat shower put it and still doesnt work. Its not safe for thr kids to use it gets warm then goes freezing, when the heating is on you get warmish water and it makes like a trqpped air squeal and it goes cold but then it comes warm again ?
 
We had the boiler serviced and everything was fine, hope its not a new boiler can not afford that. If so will jusg have to cope with a crap shower
 
Baxi 105e ? sounds more like the diaphragm has gone and the boiler isint seeing the demand for hot water,,,,(crystal ball is mended)
