Bath Mixer Tap

[stevec59]

Hi,
We are now in out newly built house ,So far so good,been here about 9 months,anyway, the water out of the Mixer tap on the bath isn't giving out very hot water, it's one of those taps where you set the temperature on 1 tap and then turn on the cold,looks a bit like:-

,it gets fairly hot,but not really hot enough for a bath, all the other taps (including the shower that has same type of mixer) are fine, did try turning up the boiler, but as other taps are fine, had to turn it down again.Is this something easily fixed or new mixer tap?
We have contacted the builder as we think it should be covered by them,but will wait and see.

Thanks

Steve

If the other taps are hot, then unless this is a long way from the hot water supply, it must be a faulty t/stat, OR I dont know if there is an ajustment for anti scald than you can aj ust.

Thanks for that
Any idea how easy it will be to replace? Obviously side panel off bath, hope that there is a 1/4 turn isolator valve, Looks like the knob has a cap on it, prise that off, I guess that will reveal screw, unscer that, i guess the tap cover will come off to reveal the nut, un do that.
Are replalcements easily avial? hope it's not a complete tap required.
Could I replace it with a Non Thermostatic one?

Thanks

Steve
