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...

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

Hi, thanks for all your advice, I turned the water off last night and went into the loft. One of the overflows on the tanks was under water so I guess I need to try to unblock it. The only one that looked anything but full was the small one at the end, I’m not sure of the purpose of that. I’m...

Both

Yes I made sure that was the case thanks

Hi @MikeToll did you ever find what the leak was? I have a similar problem
