    Corroded copper pipe

    John and Harry, Thanks for the info, iron pipes may account for it as i had a row with the wife over why the bath silicone always takes on a reddish colour so not perhaps when she dyes her hair, it is a hard water area but the only muck that comes through is sand which you can see in the...
