I moved into my flat in June and have had no problems with the plumbing until now. All my hot taps are working fine except the bath mixer which is only producing tepid water. Most frustrating as now the cold weather has set in it is not I want hot bath water the most. Can anyone help me locate the problem?

The boiler is firing up but the water is nowhere near as hot as the water from the other hot taps. Is there any way I can tell if it is a thermostatic mixer tap?
have you a pic of it ?
its not thermostatic.
what happens if you have the bath tap and basin tap running does it come through hot ?

Just happened over the past month or so.
Noticed when I ran sink tap and bath tap both lost temperature (similar to the bath tap alone) when turned bath tap off sink tap temp increased.
I'm struggling to get the bath panel off as the previous owner appears to have relied on superglue for all DIY tasks. When I get the panel off what would a mixer valve look like?

I have got the bath pannel off but can't see anything resembling a mixer valve.
